	Huebner Road, Geary County South of Huebner Road at old Capitol Building, Fort Riley Reservation , KS, USA

	This building was erected in 1855 in the now extinct town of Pawnee for the first legislature of Kansas. The members were mostly Missourians, fraudulently elected in an effort to make Kansas a slave state. They came in wagons and on horseback well armed, and camped out on the prairie. The session lasted from July 2 to 6.
