Topeka, KS Capitol | 101 in 1001
Hi, I had the fun experience while running an errand for my son. This errand took me to Topeka, KS. This city holds a special spot in my heart. First and foremost this is where my daughter and her family call home. Topeka is a city of history as well. #15 of my 101 in 1001 can be checked off!
While in Topeka I decided to visit the state capitol. The dome was my interest on this trip. For many years the dome was a lime green color. After the restoration, the dome is a dark brown. I wanted to get up close and see the changes.
This is how I remember it looking.
This is how it looks now.
Notable Kansans
The images of Notable Kansans and of First Peoples were hanging on stone walls.
Briella, Brynlee and I were successful in climbing all 296 steps to the top of the dome!

We discovered after this climb, Brynlee is afraid of heights. Regardless, she was a trooper!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
Such a cool time, thanks for sharing it with us.
It was a fun excursion. One Brynlee for sure will always remember!
It had been years since I visited our state capitol. This visit was purely to take the 296 steps to the top of the dome. And we made it! I would like to go back and take a guided tour. That trip I will probably take by myself. 🙂
Take care and best wishes.
That sounds like a fun outing!
We sure did have a fun time!
