Emporia may not be as popular a tourist destination as some of the bigger cities in the state such as Kansas City and Wichita, but it does have its own charm. Its relatively small size makes for a tighter community and easy access to its different attractions, such as the Old Emporia Public Library, Warren Wesley House, the Keebler-Stone House, and the Granada Theater. It also features a lot of shopping, entertainment, and dining spots. What’s more, its central location also allows travelers to get to the other areas within the state. Check out this list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Emporia, Kansas, if you wish to set up base here while in the state.
