Former home of John and Mary Ritchie and their son, Hale Ritchie. The Ritchie couple had been intimately involved in every aspect of the free state movement and the development of Topeka as a major political and commercial force in the region. The house was built in 1856 by abolitionists John and Mary Jane Ritchie. The Ritchie family operated a "station" on the Underground Railroad here. Tours on Monday and Wednesday 10 AM and 2 PM or by appointment
