When Kansas became a territory,
with. the appointment of Governor
Reeder, in 1854 the center of the state
was at the Shawnee mission, which
then had thirteen buildings, one of
which was appropriated by the gov
ernor for the purpose of a state CAPT
toll, which purpose it fulfilled for the
next two years.
First Kansas Laws Enacted, There.
The first legislature of Kansas spent
the greater part of their time at the
Shawnee mission, adjourning there
from Pawnee, where they started the
session. The first laws for the terri
tory were enacted in the old mission
building, and it was there decided
that Lecompton was to be the capital
of the state.
The mission buildings. the Oldest of
