Old Prairie Town at Ward-Meade Historic Site, located on the Oregon Trail in Topeka, Kansas, is a 6-acre historic site that includes the Ward-Meade Botanical Garden, preserving the family history of one of the earliest settlers in the area. The grounds are open daily from 8 AM to Dusk. At the Potwin Drug Store, sit at the marble counter and order a soda fountain treat, and shop for vintage-era candy! The Mulvane General Store allows visitors to step back in time to a mercantile setting with a décor of "yesterday," featuring gift items that reflect either the Victorian period or a Kansas theme. The Potwin Drug Store & The Mulvane General Store are both open Mon-Sat 10 AM-4 PM and Sun 12-4PM.
