About Wilson

Known as the Czech Capital of Kansas, Wilson is a quiet, welcoming community of around 850 people nestled in the Smoky Hills. The town's roots shine through in local bakeries, the giant hand-painted Czech egg downtown, and the popular After Harvest Czech Festival held every July. It offers a relaxed small-town pace with a close neighborhood feel. You also get easy access to great outdoor recreation, as Wilson Lake is just a short drive north for boating, fishing, and hiking along some of the clearest waters in the state.
