Built at the edge of the Fort Riley cavalry post in 1855, its purpose was to house what became known as the "Bogus Legislature." The legislature consisted mostly of pro-slavery Missourians who crossed into Kansas to sway the elections in their favor. Restored in 1928, the capitol is now a museum. Admission by donation.
