Hutton

Kansas ghost towns are what happens when the railroad changes its mind and the wheat stops paying.

Mark E. Hutton (born August 5, 1954) is an American politician. He served as a Republican member for the 105th district in the Kansas House of Representatives from 2013 to 2017. In 2016, he was given a lifetime rating of 88% by the American Conservative Union. He is married with two children. He was appointed to the Kansas Board of Regents by Gov. Jeff Colyer in 2018 for a four-year term.

The on-the-ground condition of Hutton is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Hutton is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
