Description

Did you know that January 29 is Kansas Day? Kansas entering statehood on January 29, 1861 was marked with multiple complicated Constitutional Conventions, freestate raids, votes for or against slavery and new settlement. Kansas was the 34th state in the Union and this state holiday was established in 1877.

Join us to learn about local history, see an official copy of the (Wyandotte) State Constitution, visit the coloring station for Kansas-themed pages and even participate in a scavenger hunt around the East building.
