Beaumont is an unincorporated community in Butler County, Kansas, United States. The post office was established June 3, 1880, and was discontinued August 16, 1997. The Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank in Beaumont is on the National Register of Historic Places. Beaumont maintains a private airfield directly next to the town. The Beaumont Cafe and Hotel is a popular place to eat and stay for locals as well as pilots on their way through. There is a taxiway and parking area for small planes directly next to the restaurant itself. It is also near the Elk River Wind Project. The community is featured in the storyline of the 1998 film "The Long Way Home" starring Jack Lemmon. However, the actual locations filmed were in British Columbia, Canada and not in Kansas. http://www. imdb. com/title/tt0143436/.
What is class action litigation?
