Red Rocks State Historic Site

An amazing place steeped with history and artifacts of a great man and his family. A family that has been through struggles and loss as well as some amazing successes, this is my favorite place to visit here in emporia, and highly recommend anyone visiting here to visit Red Rocks. The history of this house is itself outstanding, with the story of its origins and how William Allen White finished the house. If you love history, or wanna know more about Emporias history and legacy of this man and his family, Red Rocks will open your eyes to a whole new world of information that most people do not know about, information that makes me proid to be living here in Emporia.

One of my favorite places to learn about William Allen White.

We missed visiting season by a week. Neat place, we will have to stop by next year.

William Allen White's historic home called Red Rocks is an interesting place steeped in history. It has been restored and they have done a marvelous job in making it appear to be lived in.nnI was surprised by the size of the interior; it is much larger than I had anticipated. Some of it is ornate and some of it is rather common.nnIt has many interesting photographs of famous people, I was surprised to see a photograph of William Allen White and Albert Einstein and it looks like it was taken in the same room where the photograph is displayed among many others.nnThe artifacts and furniture are well-preserved; it is easy to imagine the White family living there.nnIn one of the photographs you will see the admission price and hours of operation; I hope that is helpful.nnIn addition to the home, a visitor center is in the spacious backyard. Moreover an old black Cadillacs is a garage-like structure in the driveway.nnAround Christmas time they may have an open house with holiday music and carolers. It is only for one afternoon and only one day. Although that is when I visited, I would have paid the full admission price. Expect to pay full price at other times.nnI live in the same neighborhood several blocks away and it is relatively safe. Parking should not be an issue. In addition, William Allen White Elementary School is across the street with a playground if you are bringing younger children along.

Don't remember anything about it
