KANSAS: SUNFLOWER STATE
BY CLAY
LARROY
Topeka, “Top City”
Topeka,
the capital of Kansas, is situated in the center of the United States. Found in
the northeast quadrant of Kansas, Topeka and Shawnee County offer four seasons,
beautiful rolling hills and friendly people.
Since
its inception in 1854, Topeka has played a significant role in the nation's
fight for freedom. From John Brown's battle for the abolition of slavery, to
the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that paved
the way for desegregation in America's public schools, Topeka has been in the
center of it all.
Today,
Topeka's arts and culture scene is thriving like never before. Explore our new
arts district featuring talent that rivals the big-city, delivered with the
value and charm that only the Midwest can provide. From the oldest (and best!)
community dinner theater in the country to our city-wide First Friday ArtWalks,
Topeka is an art lover's paradise.
Our
many diverse attractions reflect our city's prominent past and its movement
toward a progressive future. Discover unique shopping and historical treasures,
enjoy fresh air and sunshine in our expansive outdoor parks and attend a racing
event at Heartland Park Topeka.
