Kansas Historical Society

I’ve honestly never been in a Capitol quite like this. The bottom floor felt like a dungeon, but the rest of it had a different vibe. I had the opportunity to have a private tour yesterday with Beth, and she was phenomenal. I learned a ton about the architecture and artwork, and I had a great time. I think the best part was that they have so many tours and free underground parking! Almost no state capitols offer free parking for visitors, so that was great!

My wife and I took the historical and architectural tour here. The tour is easy to find - it starts at the visitor’s center on the ground level. You can’t miss it if you park in the visitor parking on the north side of the building. Our tour guide was Norman. He was fantastic. He was very friendly, and very knowledgeable. It was just the three of us on the tour, and he was very interactive with us. We got to know each other a little bit during the hour, which was a lot of fun! The building is beautiful and full of history. It is definitely worth checking out if you’re in Topeka.

Beautifully maintained capitol building. The dome tour was amazing and I highly recommend it. Must see when in Topeka!
