William Allen White House
State Historic Site
William Allen White influenced state and national politics from the heartland town of Emporia through his writings and colorful politics, debating the Populists of the 1890’s and battling against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920’s. His house and gardens, with its furnishings and memorabilia, allows us to experience this man and his descendents.

Howe House & Welsh Farmstead
The historic Richard Howe farmstead lets visitors experience a simpler age, before electricity, plumbing or air-conditioning. This unique house was built in 1867 by Richard Howe, a Welsh immigrant stonemason.
