Bill's Hardware, pictured above and below.

A ball diamond sits along the main drag (Commercial Street) just south of the hardware store.

At the north edge of the business district is Hartford High School, so most of the action in town takes place on Commercial Street.

Other Hartford businesses include: Hartford Elevator, the Hartford State Bank, Stever Heating and Air Conditioning, Julie's Barber Shop, a convenience store/pizza shop, car wash, and Scrappers, a scrapbook store (601 Mechanic.)

An All Veteran's Memorial is on K-130 as you enter town and if you turn there and go west a few blocks, you'll find the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge Office. From the Refuge Office, you can find The Townsite Trail which takes an easy hike through the woods.


The Neosho River flows on the east edge of town and a double-arch concrete bridge is spray-painted with the "Who's Who" of Hartford.
