Constitution Hall State Historic Site is an amazing hidden gem and great historical spot in Lecompton, Kansas. The building itself is amazing and kept in its original state, especially considering how old it is. It is a very interesting historic site where history with national implications was made, just a half block from downtown. Visitors have a delightful experience, finding it well worth the time and the drive. The museum features impressive information, pictures, and history, with interactive elements and well-designed placards for an educational stop. The knowledgeable and pleasant staff provide a wonderful history lesson, answering questions with genuine enthusiasm. Admission is free of charge with donation boxes. The gift shop has cute old fashioned toys, and local cafes offer incredible lunch, making the visit absolutely worth it.
The family was in Lawrence for kids’ event and had a free morning. After reading a little of the history of Lecompton we went to the Constitution Hall. Great historical spot to stop! Eric provided a wonderful history lesson! Well worth the time to go. Free of charge but do have donation boxes.

We had a delightful experience. It was well worth the time and the drive. I wish we'd had a couple more hours to visit the museum in town as well.
