Learn the history and role of the Topeka Constitutional Convention and Constitution Hall. Join us to learn more about the fascinating history of this Topeka treasure.
Kansas was first envisioned as a free state in the fall of 1855 when the Topeka Constitutional Convention met in Constitution Hall. Renovation of the historic building was recently completed and it now serves as a reminder of the important role Kansas played in the antislavery movement leading to the Civil War.
