Watching the Super Bowl in 2021, the hubby saw Jeep's commercial and said we had to go to the little white chapel. That little white chapel is at Geographical Center of the US in Lebanon, KS. Planning our trip to Arizona, we made sure this was our stretch break stop on Day 1. It is almost 11.5 hours from Northeast Wisconsin and is actually only a short distance from the Kansas/Nebraska border.
The Geographical Center of the US is just outside of Lebanon at the end of a state highway. It really isn't much. There is a couple of signs, a marker, and the chapel.
The chapel and grounds are open 24 hours a day. The chapel is quite small inside probably enough for a dozen or two people to sit and pray.
You can also leave a sticker which I did not know otherwise I might have.
It is one of those places that probably won't get much notoriety if it wasn't for the Super Bowl ad and maybe quirky Pinterest articles. Even with some notoriety now, we were the only people there.
Is it worth checking out? I'd say yes if you are in the area. We did not check out Lebanon so I am not sure what else the town has to offer but you are in rural Kansas/Nebraska so not much. It really wasn't too much out of the way on the way to Dodge City.
