The Methvin Family Story

At the Pioneer Bluffs historic site, Nancy Methvin of Lincolnville tells how her Louisiana ranch family’s summer adventure turned into 46 years of living in, and loving, the Flint Hills of Kansas. The Methvin family ranched in Louisiana Bayou Country on land that had been in the family since 1714. The family came to the Flint Hills for one summer in 1977, and stayed on land that was once part of the original 101 Ranch and the Frye/Ronsick Ranch. Nancy shares the history of the areas they have lived.

Recorded in July 2023 at Pioneer Bluffs historic center, Matfield Green, Kansas.
