The First Territorial Capitol on Fort Riley is once again open to walk-in visitors on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

The President of Friends of the First Territorial Capito, Mike Ritchie announced that Randy Cartwright is the new site manager.

The Partner’s “friends” group that operates the site in partnership with the Kansas State Historical Society, invites all members, friends, history “buffs” and interested persons to join them for their annual 2016 annual membership meeting. Due to increased security on Fort Riley and the fact that the board decided not to hold a re-enactment this year, the meeting will be held at the Geary County Historical Museum at 6th and Adams in Junction City on Saturday June 4 at 10 a.m.

There will be a brief presentation by the president, annual reports, and election of new board members. Candidates for the board are returning board member Stacey Cooke and Peggy Stratton.

The First Territorial Capitol is located on Huebner Road on post between Irwin Army Hospital and Ogden.
