Master Overbey's Us Martial Arts

While it may be true that you can always read about history, it is a very rare occasion when you can actually step back into it. That unique opportunity is offered to visitors of the Old Prairie Town at Ward Meade Historic Site. Over the course of this history-laden one-half acre area, you can see, hear, and touch various examples of living history. Some of the many highlights and attractions include a fully restored 1870 Victorian mansion, a wood cabin, a train depot, a one-room schoolhouse, a stone barn, a church and a general store. Don't forget to check out the gift shop and the nearby botanical garden.

Curtain calls, the lights dim, and ushers are hurriedly making sure that everyone finds their seat before the lights go up at the Topeka Performing Arts Center. This first-class entertainment venue is where all the big shows happen, and fans of all types of music respect the venue's reputation for always presenting a truly unforgettable show. Rock, blues, country, classical and even Christian musical acts have all graced the stage here. In addition to presenting great events, the venue is also available for receptions and corporate functions.

Sexy and sleek are the two words that best describe Topeka’s JW's Bar and Lounge. By no means is it a place where you have to really dress up, but you will draw attention to yourself if you show up in a t-shirt and shorts. Elegant and classy but not stuffy, JW's offers a great selection at the bar, excellent service and great music that make hanging out here feel like you're in some Hollywood nightlife hangout.
