For 25 years in good times and bad, work or fun, Horton Guest House Motel has provided a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay in Horton. Since 1994 I have been a Horton Chamber of Commerce member. I got my first cell phone then to help take reservations. My first guest was a young man riding a bicycle across the country, from the east coast going to California. The day we bought the building , he rode up on his bicycle and was happy the Guest House was here so he didn't have to ride any further. Another guest that first week was Bob Thornburg, here in town to start his SweetPro Feeds business, and we wished each other well, which seems to have worked out. The casinos and their many guests came to the area soon after. We were fortunate to provide housing for many big and small projects in the area since then. Some of these included Golden Eagle Casino, Sac and Fox Casino and entertainers, Bureau of Indian Affairs Horton office, Rainbow Communications, Bob Hull, Inc., Industrial Diesel, City of Horton Power plant and other utilities, Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas/Administration Building, cross country gas pipeline, now cross country windmill lines, bridge projects and too many individual guests and families to list! I am thankful for the internet and facebook so people can find us now! I am proud to be one of the past and present Horton women business owners. I have been blessed with meeting and having many wonderful guests stay with me these 25 years! Thank you and thank the Lord! God has been good! Patricia
