As it was time to hit the road, I knew there were a few sites a little bit to the west of Lawrence that I wanted to see, including the first territorial capital of Kansas. Unfortunately, I managed to show up on a day when everything was closed.
I have absolutely no doubt that I will make it back to check out this fascinating site that had a massive historical impact on the United States and is part of the story of how the state of Kansas became a free state just before the Civil War.
It’s been a little bit of time just walking around Lecompton, snapping a few pictures, and wishing my timing would’ve been a little bit better.
