William Allen White House

"Good for kids 3rd or 4th grade and up"

   Though they welcome all ages, I think this histroic house is more suited for 9 years and up.  There is a tour guide, ours was very engaging and kept the kids' interest throughout.  
   William Allen White is a big name in Kansas and the William Allen White book award is obviously named for him.  I found his editorials interesting and witty.  
   The tour includes rooms in the house and gardens.  
   Afterwards we went to Peter Pan Park in town for a picnic lunch.  Peter Pan Park was named by William Allen White (the land was donated to the city by the Whites) and dedicated to their daughter, Mary, who died young.
   Its a great stop that can be a brief hour or two and 1/2 a day if your kids love parks.
