Reviews
"This museum is definitely worth your time for a nostalgic trip to the past. From the beautiful and historic Christmas tree displays to all of the artifacts from the wars and time gone past. This museum is a real gem."
"Played for seniors yesterday from home upstairs in the chapel for Christmas this year. (Vespars program this Sunday 12/3/23) Such a beautiful venue. Tree expo from that era till now. Was territorial capital of Kansas. Must see. Free. Downtown Cafe round the corner also great."
"We stumbled across this jewel while visiting Lawrence. Worth the trip. It filled in a bunch of history I either didn't know or forgot. We got lucky and met a museum volunteer who opened up the "closed today" museum and gave us a personal tour (love me a small town museum). Even if you don't get to the museum there are lots of street level signs and explanations about why they say slavery started to die in Lecompton."
"Thoroughly enjoyed the Museum & Constitution Hall. Lots of history about "Bleeding Kansas" Very friendly staff & hosts!"
"My wife and I visited here for the annual Christmas tree displays. We will be returning. 150 Christmas trees with lights and ornaments from a large number of different times. Just an incredible number of displays. The nostalgia was incredibly moving for me. Staff is friendly and helpful. Entry is by donation so very affordable for young or elderly families wanting some fun without a ton of money. Space is tight and there was a good number of people so be prepared to take some time and be patient. The building was built in the early 20th century and with all the exhibits it can be hard to move around at times with all the people there."
