Capitol Neighborhood Tour

Once you've seen the Capitol's murals and learned more about our pivotal role in pre-Civil War history, head over to the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site to learn about our pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement and the desegregation of public schools nationwide.

Pick up a sweet treat from Hazel Hill Chocolate Traditions or head over to North Topeka to enjoy a slice of pie from Bradley's Corner Café.

While in North Topeka, browse the eclectic shops in the North Topeka Arts District (NOTO) - most are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The first Saturday of each month is especially fun. 

If you're touring on a Saturday morning (April to October), check out the Farmers Market, located at 6th & Harrison.

The Charles Curtis House State Historic Site is currently closed while preparations are underway for a planned October 2026 opening.
