Dover became an important stop along the Southwest Trail, which connected the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. The historic Sage Inn, built from native limestone in the 1800s, served travelers and stagecoaches passing through the area and remains a local landmark. Agriculture and livestock have long been part of Dover’s heritage, while the surrounding Flint Hills are known for their rolling grasslands, limestone formations, and scenic countryside. Today, the area retains its rural character and historical charm, with the Native Stone Scenic Byway showcasing the region’s natural beauty and early Kansas history.
