Historic Topeka Cemetery's Mausoleum Row: Where Topeka History is Preserved in Stone

Mausoleum Row is more than a resting place — it is Topeka’s memory, preserved in stone. The families buried here built legacies. They shaped the very streets we walk today. Visiting this stretch of the cemetery is a reminder that history is not confined to books; it is all around us, waiting to be read in weathered names, graceful columns, and the stories of those who came before.
