Coronado Heights Castle Seeks Renovation Funds
Coronado Heights in Saline County, a national historic site atop Smoky Hills, needs repairs after 78 years of Kansas winds. The Smoky Valley Historical Association plans a two phase capital campaign to restore the Spanish style castle built in the 1930s with WPA funds and to fix park facilities and drainage. A $90,000 Kansas Heritage Trust Fund grant backs phase one, while the group seeks further gifts to cover remaining costs.
