The Farmhouse allows you to reach Downtown Atchison in just 5-10 minutes. Our Farmhouse on Sedgwick Road, which as you drive south, becomes 2nd Street, delivering you just in front of Benedictine Church at 2nd & Unity streets.

Exploring & Sightseeing

The Farmhouse is conveniently located due north of Atchison, KS along the Independence Creek that feeds into the Missouri River. We’re a 30–35-minute drive from the newly-constructed KC Airport (MCI) and just over an hour from downtown Kansas City. And only a quick drive from St Joseph, Missouri-home of “The Pony Express”.

Just far enough to “get away”, while not having to lose a day to travel. Atchison boasts of her illustrious daughter, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly acrossthe Atlantic Ocean. Again, continue south on 2 nd Street and the breathtaking overlook of the Missouri River from the museum, former home of Amelia Earhart. The best site to observe the Atchison Amelia Earhart Festival July 19, 2024. Great Fireworks Spectacular Staying at The Farmhouse was a wise decision, as you’re located within numerous regional attractions, such easy day trips!
