A Place Where People Live By Choice

Louisburg, Kansas. A Place Where People Live By Choice. 

A small town that honors its heritage and welcomes its future … A community that is senior citizen friendly and a perfect place to raise a family … A community where people work together to solve problems and respond to opportunities …

Fourteen years ago our family was looking for a place to live. We visited every community within driving distance of my work as a professor at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. Finally we discovered Louisburg. We knew immediately that we had found a home. You don't have to spend much time in Louisburg before you realize that this is a very special community.

What makes it so special? It is the people – their friendly and welcoming spirit. Visit Louisburg and you'll agree that Louisburg, Kansas is a great place to live, work, shop, and play. We have excellent schools, highly qualified and caring teachers in every classroom; compassionate churches who respond to the needs of residents and visitors alike; active civic organizations; a very active senior citizens center; effective local government; a strong and vibrant business community; and an abundance of leisure and recreational opportunities for people of all ages.

We are proud of our history yet we embrace the future. We accept the desirability of growth yet we insist that growth be controlled so that it not destroy the sense of community that brings us together.

When I retired from teaching and administration at the University, I was already known as one of Louisburg's most enthusiastic promoters. A real estate license made it possible to continue selling Louisburg and earn an income in the process. Hard to beat a deal like that.

We are a small county immediately south of Johnson County, the largest county in Kansas. I lived in Johnson County for more than 20 years and maintain extensive ties to Johnson County. Of course I assist buyers and sellers there as well as in Miami County but anyone who is ready to live in a smaller community should consider Louisburg. It is definitely, "a place where people live by choice."
