Hays House Restaurant / Hays House Bakery "We are excited about the opportunity to own a piece of the history of Council Grove and the Santa Fe Trail," Collier said in making the announcement. "The interest in the history of this area is dramatically increasing as more people are discovering the beauty of the Flint Hills and this entire region. We believe we can provide local residents and visitors to this area with a unique dining experience in what is reputed to be the oldest continuously operated restaurant west of the Mississippi River and the second oldest continuously operated restaurant in the United States." Wilkersons' Flint Hills Bakery and Smokehouse will be converted to a full-time retail bakery, under the name Hays House Bakery, and will support the day-to-day operations of the Hays House Restaurant. "Combining the two businesses will let us better serve the needs of our local community and visitors as well as expand the services we offer in terms of locally produced food products and meeting the catering needs of this area," Doug Wilkerson noted.
