Once an important place for landowners staking their claim, this office played a significant role in the region's settlement. The container includes space for trade items and trackables.
The Land Office was built in 1854 and contained the land patent office of H.B. Smith and his brother, who were the first land patent agents in Kansas Territory. The Trail of Death plaque, a memorial to the Pottawatomie Indians, who were forced to leave their ancestral lands in Indiana and settle in the Osawatomie area in 1838, is on this site.
