I got to preview the immersive museum that features rooms designed to bring Frontenac’s mining, entrepreneurship, and religious past to life while honoring its Southeast Kansas roots.

This Isn’t Just A Restaurant Story – It’s A Love Letter To Small Town Roots
This was supposed to be a story about the hardships of opening a restaurant. This is not that story. You see, the owners of Bushel & a Peck had no business moving back to Southeast Kansas. They take food seriously – certainly more seriously than the region is used to.
Town Changing Dedication
Good people do what must be done, give all they can give, then gently bow out, taking no credit. Seth Nutt is one of those people.
Tiny details in mural brings Frontenac history to life
You’ll have to look twice and look often to see all the details hidden in the mural along Mike Hagerty’s workshop in the old Obertos Texeco building. Hagerty and his family are longtime Frontenac residents with more than a little Raider pride.
Girard’s Eastside Cafe serves up pie & kindness
Every TV show that features a slice of Americana often serves it up in the form of a diner or small country café. Usually with a side of apple pie. However, the on-screen version of a perfect small-town American Cafe is often a whole lot harder to find than one might expect.
New Restaurant Gives Country Food A Globe-Trotting Glow Up
Some silly people may say you can’t go home again. However, that definitely doesn’t apply if you plan on opening a restaurant designed to knock the culinary socks off the entire county. Which is precisely what Frontenac Friends Kelley (Terlip) and her husband Mike Gingras have done with their brand new restaurant Bushel & a Peck .
Local church known for chicken, noodles, and love
This church goes back to what a church was at first in this country. A gathering place of support and love for the community. Instead of promising free tickets to heaven for donations you’ll find a group of people mixing, rolling, and cutting, homemade noodles. It’s the kind of place that you feel good going into.
Setting the bar high for community devotion
The bar was quiet, which was rare. Pickled Pete’s is usually humming with some sort of chatter. However, today was Sunday. A day when the small-town bar and grill is usually closed to visitors.
