About Benedict

Benedict started out in the late 1800s as a bustling rail stop along the Verdigris River, but today it is a quiet, small-town community in Wilson County. Life here is peaceful and unhurried, surrounded by open fields and the rolling southeast Kansas countryside. Families in town are part of the neighboring Fredonia school district, making the short drive to Fredonia convenient for classes, sports, and daily shopping. It is an easy fit for anyone who values open space and simple country living.
