HISTORIC DISTRICT

Chestnut Street Historic District

Hays, KS | Ellis County

A century ago, the commercial and social life in Hays centered on Chestnut Street (now Main) where residents gathered to meet friends and shop. The soul of Hays has been restored, and you can feel the energy in the renovated buildings, new businesses, trendy restaurants, and works of art. (NRHP)
