Stan Herd Mural: 113 S. Main. On a building wall south of the Prairie State Bank, a 1986 Stan Herd mural depicts Inman around 1910.
Inman Museum: 101 Main. A continued work in progress, this museum has a lot of life! Inman in the late-1800s is presented in exhibits filled with artifacts from businesses, from the wheelwright to the mercantile, an 1887 Rock Island depot and a 1909 telephone office.
Inman Harvest Cafe: 112 S. Main. Goulash for breakfast? It’s made with hash browns, onions, scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheddar cheese, and it’s a big seller! But so is the hot roast beef sandwich with beef slow cooked for 12 hours.
Lake Inman: It’s the largest natural lake in the state—a half-mile-wide circular sinkhole. In the late 1860s when Major Henry Inman made the trek on the Fort Harker Trail from present Kanopolis to Wichita he camped at this body of water.
