TOPEKA

Capital of Kansas

Topeka is a crossroads where rich history and passionate community spirit come together. Topeka has proven to be resilient. Its early history as a Free State community; where several citizens worked to help those escaping slavery. Today, you’ll feel the echoes of its pivotal role in the fight for freedom at the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, where courage and conviction changed the course of American history. The Kansas State Capitol Building, crowned by its iconic dome, invites visitors to marvel at its artistry.

Wander through its charming downtown, where murals splash vibrant colors across brick walls, and cozy local cafés and boutiques invite you to linger. In Gage Park, laughter drifts on the wind as families gather at the Topeka Zoo or ride the vintage carousel. Nearby, the Lake Shawnee trails beckon adventurers, offering a serene escape into nature’s beauty. Topeka is a city where the past inspires the present and where every corner holds a story waiting to be told.
