THE POPULATION
For the first 75 years of Volland’s life, the Rock Island Railway played a big role in the growth and subsistence of the Flint Hills town. An Artery that fed the town of Volland, Kansas eventually severed as technology and time advanced.
In the late 1800s, Bill and Otto Kratzer established a store near the Rock Island Railroad Depot on the edge of Volland. Providing Volland with merchandise and Post services, the store quickly established itself as an essential piece of the town.
Cattle raising and farming has been the lifeline for many Kansas towns, and Volland was no exception. This enterprise was facilitated by the railroad, bringing cattle and other goods to and from the town. However, as the railway faded, so did the farmers livelihood.
Located near Alma, Volland was born with a population of 26 residents in 1910. After the Volland store was established, the population peaked in the mid 1900s. Though the population fell drastically after the store closed, a spirit of revitalization runs through the town today.

PHASE 1 - VOLLAND STORE
TODAY
The renovation of The Volland Store saved as much of the Kratzer brothers’ original structure as possible, and the Store is reclaiming its role as a center of community life where news and ideas are exchanged, and a place where descendants of homesteaders and visitors from Anywhere, USA, stage meetings, reunions, workshops and weddings, art exhibits, musical performances, and equestrian events.
