Norton, Kansas boasts three vintage gas stations that have been repurposed for other uses. It was on my list of stops last year but we didn’t get there. This year we made a point of stopping by. Very cool!

Wonderful! Jackpot and well worth the year wait.
It was pretty cool, for sure!
I wonder how many times they get people drive up to fill up? Or is it fairly obvious that these are no longer functioning as gas stations? In any case they certainly look cool, much nicer than modern ones.
For the most part, people aren’t going to be driving through Norton, Kansas accidentally. 😉 They do look very realistic and for the most part might appear to be functioning, but if nothing else the prices would give them away. I think one of them had a price of $.25 9/10 per gallon!
