Founded by Civil War veteran William Lansing Taylor; Lansing is home to a population quickly approaching 11;000 residents. It is also home to the Lansing Correctional Facility (formerly the Kansas State Penitentiary); the oldest prison in Kansas. Designed by Erasmus Carr; architect of the Kansas State Capitol; the building has stood watch over the area for more than 140 years. As one will find; Lansing and the prison have grown together and mutually benefitted each other. Lansing is also home to Mount Muncie Cemetery; one of the oldest cemeteries in the state. It is the resting place of several famous people; including Fred Harvey. The photographs in this book are glimpses into time of a small village with one-room schools to a bustling community with one of the busiest north�south highways in Kansas.
