Prairie Village, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City located in Johnson County, has a population of 21,447. The town was developed by J. C. Nichols who is the developer of the Country Club Plaza located just a few miles away and was initially intended to provide a community for military personnel returning from the Second World War.

The award winning Shawnee Mission School District serves the educational needs of the Prairie Village residents.
Prairie Village is filled with beautiful statues found throughout the different communities. One of these is found in the neighborhood of Prairie Hills. This area is located in the heart of Prairie Village. The statue I mention is located at 71st & Cherokee and can be found with beautiful flowers during warmer days. It is a beauty!
