Historic Lecompton, located in Lecompton, Kansas, is a town rich in history and significance. Founded in 1854, it was later renamed in honor of Judge Samuel D. Lecompte, the chief justice of the Kansas territorial supreme court. As the political birthplace of the American Civil War, visitors can explore two museums, Constitution Hall and Lane University, along with other historic sites, restaurants, and shops.

Constitution Hall, built in 1856, is the oldest wood-frame, civilian structure in Kansas, while Lane University sits on the former 13-acre Lecompton capital square district. Additionally, the Democratic Headquarters, a stone building, served as the headquarters of the Democratic Party during the Kansas Territorial period. With a range of events and a historic walking tour, Historic Lecompton offers a captivating glimpse into the past.
