👍👍 They have improved this historical sight with a nice fence, signs, and flowers. Also has a lovely rest room adjacent to it with picnic tables for a nice afternoon visit!

Reconstructed 1800s fort/trade center with costumed actors portraying daily life.

👍 Definitely a fun place to visit and explore. From a hikers perspective, very poor signage from one trail to another. There were trails blazed in red and we only noticed that because a rock was red here, a tree was red there and we figured that must be the case. There are white signs and arrows, but...

👍👍 Just passing through Topeka, Kansas and we had to stop by Juli's Coffee & Bistro after reading all the wonderful reviews and seeing all the tasty pictures of the food 😋!! This place will not disappoint you. We had a vanilla latte, blueberry pomegranate smoothie, avocado toast with the onions, tomat...

👍👍 Love going here on my lunch breaks! Peaceful, well maintained park. Great place for a walk, picnic, or fishing.

👍👍 We stopped in for Dinner at Franks in Parkville. This town just makes you want to walk and explore. From Park U to English Landing Park on the Missouri River to the quaint downtown you just feel like you have to walk, eat and explore. It's easy to just start walking and end up making a whole day...

👍👍 Lovely estate! We do the wine fest every year.

Long-running ice cream & milkshake parlor in a historic building with a marble bar.

Historic site established in 1977 at the home & studio of Regionalist artist Thomas Hart Benton.

👍👍 I'm in love with this place. I could seriously write a book about it. A note to those who would like to visit.

This historic venue for shows originally opened in 1926 as a vaudeville theater & movie palace.

😐 Not much to see. DO NOT GO IF IT HAS RAINED IN THE PAST WEEK, UNLESS YOU HAVE 4 wheel drive. We helped pull someone out of the mud and it was not pretty!

👍👍 Great historical site with several museum items.

👍👍 Day before KU graduation, and we were lucky to have the place practically to ourselves.
