Norwood is a ghost town in north Franklin County, Kansas, United States. It is located approximately 1.25miles east of U.S. Route 59 on Stafford Rd, and 2miles south of the Franklin-Douglas county line.
The town was named after Henry Ward Beecher's novel Norwood: or, Village Life in New England.[1] A post office was established at Norwood in 1868 which closed and reopened a few times until it closed permanently in 1914.[2]
Today, the city is considered a ghost town, serving only as a stop on the recreational Midland Railway. The town now consists of one house, one train depot, and public restroom facilities.[3] [4]
