Emporia Main Street is hosting Kansas Main Street executive directors and board members from across the state for two days this week. Main Street America is here, too!

It makes sense, as Downtown Emporia is where entrepreneurship, historic preservation, community events, and local culture come together to create one of Kansas’ most dynamic downtown districts. The historic Commercial Street corridor features an eclectic mix of locally owned shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, professional services, upper-story living and gathering spaces, all connected to the Emporia State University campus at the north end of downtown.

What makes downtown Emporia special isn't simply what is here today — it’s the community’s willingness to continually build what comes next. The downtown continues to evolve as a great place to start a business, invest, create, gather and experience something uniquely Emporia.

Founded in 1863 Ottawa’s rich history is reflected in its distinctive architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Victorian, and Art Deco.

The Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, serves as the nucleus of their city's identity, shaped by a legacy of freedom, commerce, agriculture, and trade. Downtown Ottawa is a prime destination, featuring a diverse range of locally owned businesses, salons, boutique shopping, unique restaurants, and museums.

Notable attractions include the Oldest Cinema in the World, the oldest surviving George P. Washburn courthouse in the state, and the intersection of the Prairie Spirit Trail and the Flint Hills Trail State Park trails, offering over 170 miles of outdoor recreational activities. The Ottawa Main Street Association cordially invites you to explore and experience all that downtown Ottawa has to offer.
