From the 1890s through World War II, White influenced state and national politics through his writings from the heartland town of Emporia.

Tour his home and gardens and come to know William Allen White, his family, and their stories.

Visitors are saying:

"We loved everything--the home, furnishings, books, flowers, gardens, in fact, we returned to ask more questions. Our tour guide certainly made our day. We will be back!"
