Cloud County Tourism
Cloud County Tourism promotes the historical, artistic, and cultural treasures in Cloud County. There are many things to see and do, great places to stay, and delicious places to eat at in the communities of Concordia, Jamestown, Clyde, Aurora, Glasco, and Miltonvale that make up Cloud County.
Concordia, The Orphan Train Town, is where our office is located. Concordia is home to many attractions: The Brown Grand Theatre, National Orphan Train Complex, The Orphan Train Statue Stroll, the Whole Wall Mural, Cloud County Historical Society Museum, POW Camp Concordia, the Sisters of St. Joseph Nazareth Motherhouse, the Broadway Plaza, and the Frank Carlson Library. When you contact our office, Susie and Michelle are happy to arrange tours of these attractions for individuals, small groups, and large motor coach tours. We can guide you to several other attractions throughout the county as well.
Hospitality is our passion
We want you to feel welcome as part of our community the moment you step through our door. Our hometown is your hometown! Whether you’re stopping in and need directions, you saw our Whole Wall Mural from the highway, need travel information or other tidbits of knowledge, could use a cup of coffee, or you’re staying a couple of days exploring the area, you’ll be certain there will be a smiling face willing to do all we can to make your stay enjoyable and informative.
Stop into the Cloud County Convention & Tourism Center and visit with Susie and Michelle about all Concordia, Cloud County, and Kansas has to offer.
