Kansas

Travel to Kansas on this episode of Restore America.

In the small community of Victoria, a retired couple spend 25 years restoring their family farm, which includes a home built by a descendent of the town's original German settlers.

Then, restoration becomes a family affair as a brother and sister team rescues two early 20th-century farmsteads, one in the town of Colby and the other in Hoxie.

Next, a history major helps to preserve historic properties in Lawrence, where the University of Kansas was founded and poet Langston Hughes once lived.

Finally, a Topeka resident returns to his hometown of Pretty Prairie to revive the local theater and his parents' farm.
