It took me three years to Finally get my family to this museum and it is wonderful! Really neat facts about the history of Kansas. Plus there is a Train inside the building! They had to build the building around it my kids loved that part and the playroom they have they where in there for a few hours!

Lot of artifacts and neatly maintained place. Opens a lot of doors into Kansas history during World war 1 and 2. Information about native Americans n Wichita Indians exhibited pretty well. Plenty of war souvenirs and items on display. A must visit in Topeka which puts the limelight on less known facts about Kansas.

Fascinating place to visit. Very easy to lose yourself among the displays for at least two or three hours. Plus they have a special exhibition that changes every few months (which gives an extra incentive for returning at least once a year!).

Wonderful museum experience! The World War I special exhibit was remarkable. My husband has all the letters his grandfather wrote to his parents while serving in World War I . 1917-1919 We will definitely go back! Expect to spend at least 3 hours.
