It's a very small community. Lots of crime, local court system makes no effort to make circumstances better, just creates an unending cycle. Very few job opportunities. Great private school programs.
In my lifetime of living in Atchison, Kansas it has been boring. We do not have much to do besides riding around in cars. We are small rural town so we need to make the best of it. We are if you’re interested though the most haunted town in Kansas. We host the scary”Sally House”.
I was born and raised in Atchison, I’ve lived in both the City and county. It’s a great place to raise a family. It is a family oriented town there are many activities to do throughout the year. The best ones are Amelia Earhart Festival and Lakefest.
