🏛️ Topeka, Kansas – Don’t Miss the State Capitol! ✨

As someone who loves exploring, I couldn’t wait to check out the sights after moving here. One spot you absolutely have to visit is the Kansas State Capitol! 🏛️🇺🇸 ✅ Free entry into a functioning government building ✅ Get up close to the House and Senate chambers ✅ Ride a historic manually operated elevator 🛗 (with a real gate you pull shut!) ✅ Guided tours are available at set times, or you can explore on your own The building looks impressive from the outside, but the real grandeur is inside – don’t judge by the facade! ✨ I also learned that the famous Brown v. Board of Education case originated right here 🖤📚 – the exhibit includes real photos from the protests and conflicts over school segregation. Powerful and moving. 🕘 Hours: Check online before you go – open on weekdays 🅿️ Parking: Free 2-hour street parking nearby Free underground Capitol parking (hard to find the entrance – I missed it a few times 😅) Courthouse parking across the street is also free and convenient After your tour, you can walk to the nearby downtown area with shops and restaurants 🛍️🍽️ – though options might not suit every Asian palate. #Topeka #Kansas #CapitolTour #USHistory #BrownVsBoard #FreeTour #WeekendVibes
