Email Address: lanemuseum@aol.com About this Exploration: Visit anytime. Have a picnic! For a guided tour call 785.887.6285. The limestone cabin served as Democratic Headquarters during the turbulent mid-1850's in Lecompton. The log cabin portion of the site, no longer standing, was the first structure in Lecompton. A unique feature of the building is its full basement with plastered walls and slab floor. Click here for more information.
The cabin sits on a high bluff in Bald Eagle Riverview Park overlooking the Kansas River and provides a panoramic view of the river valley.
See nature's colors! Especially in fall, the foliage on trees on both bluffs of the river display nature's wonderful palette of color.
