While visiting the Veterans Administration Center and its grounds, you will want to see the Chapel of the Veteran's. The chapel, built in 1893, features architecture reminiscent of the early European cathedrals. In 1921, this attraction was made famous in RIPLEY's "Believe It or Not" as the only church in which Protestant and Catholic services were conducted simultaneously. It is open to the public year round M-F 8am-4pm, except during weddings or funerals. Call 785-350-3111, ext 53120 to rent chapel.

Location: 4101 South 4th Street Trafficway
