The Cross & Morgan General Store is the only extant resource from the original town of Sylvan Grove.

Evangelical Lutheran School

308 N Indiana St
Sylvan Grove (Lincoln County)
Listed in National Register 2015-10-02

Architect: C.A. Smith (Salina)
Category: church school

The Evangelical Lutheran School is located on the east edge of Sylvan Grove, directly north of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The two-and-a-half-story building reflects the Prairie School style of architecture and is constructed of native limestone, a common material in this area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The school is associated with the early German Lutheran immigrants who settled in this area, following the efforts of Christ Kruse, a railroad man from Chicago known for as a community builder and founder of Lutheran churches. The 1913 school, designed by Salina architect C.A. Smith, replaced an earlier building at the same location. The parochial school operated every year except one between 1913 and 1981. At the start of the 1918-1919 school year, Lincoln County's Council of Defense closed the Evangelical Lutheran School due to anti-German hysteria during World War I.

Felcman, Frank & Anna Homestead

282 N 60th Rd
Sylvan Grove (Lincoln County)
Listed in State Register 2022-05-14

Architect: Frank Felcman
Category: domestic

The Felcman Homestead is representative of limestone homes built in the late 19th century in rural north-central Kansas. The Felcman property is in the middle of Post Rock-Limestone-Country, a band of easily accessible Greenhorn limestone deposits in central Kansas about 200 miles long from southwest to northeast and ranging from less than 10 miles to nearly 60 miles wide. Early settlers, who had little access to timber, quarried stone for the construction of homes, barns, outbuildings, stores, schools, fence posts and even clothesline poles. The Felcman’s immigrated to America in 1883 from Bohemia, now known as the Czech Republic. They homesteaded this property and joined with other Czechs from Bohemia in settling the area around Wilson, Kansas, which is recognized as the Czech Capital of Kansas.

Thematic Nomination: Kansas Rock Art

This is one of 30 American Indian rock art sites located in the state of Kansas. The majority of the sites are located in four counties in the central part of the state. Smaller numbers are located in southeast and southwestern Kansas. These sites have examples of anthropomorphic figures and human-like forms, animals and animal-like forms, geometric designs, straight lines, and grooves. Several styles of anthropomorphic petroglyphs have been recognized. Previous analysis of a fraction of this rock art indicates it is the product of Indian tribes inhabiting Kansas during the protohistoric and historic periods of circa AD 1541 to AD 1870.
