Kansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibit Service

Homes Through the Years

People around the world and throughout time have found many ways to create a home using the materials at hand. Houses built by Kansans throughout many centuries highlight the universal process of people creating structures within specific physical settings, guided by the technical idea of "house" and the cultural blueprint of "home." The one constant is the search for that sense of security and belonging.

This exhibit explores the reasons behind different house styles, from the Native American tipi to the modern ranch and beyond. Produced by the Kansas Historical Society with major funding from the Topeka Home Builders' Association.

Lewis and Clark in Kansas: "A High Butifull Prarie"

Two centures ago a great expedition entered what is now Kansas. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led this "Corps of Discovery" on its mission to explore the Louisiana Purchase. This exhibit uses historical sketches, paintings, and journal entries to illustrate Lewis and Clark's findings and impressions of the land now known as Kansas.

The bicentennial commemoration of the Lewis and Clark expedition begins in 2004. This nationally-recognized event will be celebrated in Kansas, one of the 11 original trail states. Produced by the Kansas Historical Society.
