Discover the rich tapestry of the Heartland's history with the Heartland Heritage Trail Initiative!

Before Kansas and Colorado were even states, brave migrants from Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Ireland, and many other countries, embarked on journeys across the vast prairies in search of a better life. These pioneers stopped along their routes, establishing quaint towns that would later blossom into the vibrant communities we know today.

The "Heartland Heritage Trail Initiative" invites travelers to step off the beaten path of the interstate and immerse themselves in the living history of these historic towns. Our mission is simple: to offer travelers an authentic experience by showcasing the remarkable stories of America's past through antique markets, museums, and other attractions dotted along iconic trails like the Oregon Trail, the Santa Fe Trail, and the California Trail.

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Antique Trail Publications, which has provided us with this dedicated website. But our journey doesn't stop there! We're gearing up to publish a comprehensive trail guide, shining a spotlight on the diverse array of antique markets waiting to be explored along each route.

However, we need your help to make this vision a reality. Antique Trail Publications faces challenges in covering the costs of publishing these routes, especially without a sufficient number of participating antique markets from Kansas and Colorado. As a result, state-line visitor centers are experiencing a shortage of brochures, leaving potential travelers eager for exploration without the necessary resources.

This is where you come in. By joining forces with Antique Trail Publications and registering your antique store, you not only gain exposure for your business but also contribute to preserving the heritage of the Heartland for generations to come. Don't miss this opportunity to be featured in our upcoming print brochure! Sign up today at

Exchange your business cards so we can send the traveler to you as well.
