Longford Rodeo

Hunting & Fishing
Kansas offer residents and non-residents alike the opportunity to enjoy the hunting and fishing seasons by offering Walk In Hunting/Fishing Areas. The Kansas Wildlife, Parks & Tourism site has excellent maps to show these areas, as well as outlets to buy any necessary permits.
The Smith Buffalo
Titled by some as the “Smithalo” the 60-ton rock, concrete & steel monument, measures 23 ft. long and 15-¼ ft. high. It pays tribute to the American bison or buffalo, and was constructed by brothers, Ray O. and Chester Smith in 1977 & 1978. The dedication on July 2, 1978, was attended by 3,000 guests. It is located 7 mi. southwest of Longford in eastern Ottawa County, Kansas.
