===''Little Round House''===
''The Little Round House'' was originally an addition to a front porch for a [[Victorian fashion|Victorian-style]] house in the nearby town of [[Paola, Kansas|Paola]], and was called such because it was indeed round in shape.  Because of increased truck traffic from Missouri on K-68 through town, Louisburg was contacted by the State of Kansas about needing an inspection station.  As a solution, the Little Round House was moved to Louisburg in the 1930s to serve as a [[border checkpoint]] office.  As years passed, the Little Round House became a home to a variety of small businesses, and had been used as temporary housing during [[World War II]].<ref name="LBCOC"/> The shape and size aided in it becoming a landmark to Louisburg.<ref name="LBCTY"/> In 2005, The Little Round House was moved from its original location to the Louisburg City Lake, and has been restored by the community due to its historical value to the town.<ref name="LBCOC"/>
