Faris Caves are located in the Central part of Kansas near Kanopolis in Elsworth County.

Be warned, these caves are a bit of work to find. Be sure and have a GPS guiding you as the majority of the drive is on dirt roads out in the middle of nowhere. I wasn't sure we'd find it but thankfully our GPS didn't steer us wrong.

Faris Caves are man-made caves that were carved into the sandstone rock. According to various websites, these caves were used as a home, a refrigerator, and even a school house. The fact that these caves were a part of someone's life is amazing to me. Click below if you'd like to learn more about the history of the caves.

While getting to the caves may be a bit of a drive, I think it's well worth it. I'm glad to have experienced these caves and see a tiny glimpse into what life was like for our early pioneers.
