The Midland Railroad Hotel is a historic hotel, a hidden gem, located Wilson, Kansas off of I-70. Originally built in 1899 by Philadelphia transplant Wilke Power as the Power Hotel, the Midland Railroad Hotel was once considered among the premier hotels in the Midwest. In 1997, the Wilson Foundation purchased the historic building, and launched six-year, $3.2 million renovation, earning the organization a Kansas Preservation Award for its artistry restoration. The Midland Railroad reopened in 2003 to its 1920s glory and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since then.
