WELCOME to the Overbrook, Kansas website...
Overbrook is built on the old Santa Fe Trail (now US56); located SE of Topeka approximately 20 miles, or SW of Lawrence- 25 miles. As you drive down Highway 56 you will be greeted today, as in years past, with the old water tower boasting our slogan “Don’t Overlook Overbrook.” We are a small farming community, rich in heritage, and wealthy in the spirit of community life.
Our town is privileged to have two banks, a dental office, barber shop, beauty salon, a large grocery store, quilting shop, flower shop, restaurants & cafés, an excellent library, a newly enlarged swimming pool, a 24-hour nursing home along with assisted living apartments, and a community retirement center. Our new 8 acre fishing lake sits on the east side of town just off Highway 56. It has been well stocked and is now ready for the beginner and experienced angler. There is also a dedicated Children's Fishing Pond. Jones Park is just south of the lake and is active most evenings with the cheers of our hometown baseball and softball teams. The beautiful 9-hole golf course west of town is host to many area golfers and visitors.

As you can see, we have numerous small businesses, a great school system, and a number of churches, which together creates a self-sustaining city with a hometown atmosphere for visitors, as well as for those living in Overbrook. We enjoy meeting new friends, so stop by if you're driving down Highway 56, and see for yourself why so many of our young people have returned to their hometown to raise their families and... Don't Overlook Overbrook!
