Blackjack Battlefield and Nature Park
The Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park is being developed on the site of the Battle of Black Jack.
At dawn on June 2, 1856, the abolitionist John Brown led a Free-State militia in an attack on the camp of a pro-slavery militia led by Henry Clay Pate in what John Brown later called the first regular battle fought between Free-State and Pro-Slavery men in Kansas.
A dedicated group of individuals is working to develop the Black Jack Battlefield and Nature Park on land that was saved from residential development in 2003.
St. Luke African Methodist Episcopal Church
The St. Luke AME Church was placed on the register of Kansas historical buildings in 2001 because of its connection to Langston Hughes.
It is considered a fine example of the Midwestern Gothic Revival architectural style.
