A town full of squirrels, Marysville KS

While visiting the small towns of Kansas we had to stop when we saw a squirrel or should we say many black squirrels! Marysville has always been known as Black Squirrel City. The folklore was that in the early 1900's a carnival came to town, and the carnival brought two Black Squirrels – one male and one female, and a small boy let them out and they've been here ever since!
