The Cherokee Trail is back on the map after years of being forgotten, thanks to the research of historians from southern Kansas.
Linda Andersen, a historian from Galva, first heard of the trail in 2005 at the Santa Fe Trail national symposium in McPherson, when two speakers talked about the trail.
"I had never heard of it before then," Andersen said.
A group known as the Friends of the Cherokee Trail — Kansas first met on Sept. 17, 2013.
