When you land
Things to do in Manhattan
Manhattan, the Little Apple, is home to Kansas State University, one of the country’s leading land-grant universities in agriculture, veterinary medicine and animal health. That expertise has made the city a research hub, anchored by the USDA’s National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a major federal laboratory studying foreign animal diseases. Fort Riley, the home of the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, lies just west of town, so military families, researchers, scientists and university partners all pass through regularly.
