Kansas State Capital

What started out as a single visit to see the Missouri State Capital has turned into a quest to see as many state capitals as time allows.

We actually started this quest  back in 2017 when we visited the Louisiana State Capital to see where Huey Long was assassinated.

Years later we were told the Missouri Capital was a must see. They were right!

It seemed an oversight to have not yet seen our state capital in Kansas given we had lived in the state for years. It did not disappoint.



The entrance is through the foundations of the building where a museum of Kansas history has been  established. The natural limestone foundation blocks are impressive!

Photographs of famous Kansans are found throughout




They did a particularly good job working the original footing for the building into the new flooring for the entryway museum.
