About Erie

Erie is a quiet, welcoming town in southeast Kansas, serving as the county seat of Neosho County. It has a classic small-town layout, with local shops, everyday services, and the county courthouse clustered close together. You get plenty of open space, scenic river valley farmland, and a slower pace of day-to-day life, with U.S. Highway 59 offering a direct route to nearby Chanute and Parsons for larger stores and regional healthcare.

A strong sense of community shows up across the year in local events and gatherings. The town’s signature celebration is the annual Old Soldiers and Sailors Reunion each July, a gathering dating back to 1873 that draws everyone together for live music and its famous free bean feed. Local kids attend schools in the Erie-Galesburg district, and family life stays busy with the county fair, seasonal rodeos, car shows, and holiday parades that make it easy to settle in and meet your neighbors.
