Will this event be held at the Territorial Capital Museum or at the Lecompton Episcopal Church? ... the article announces the event but gives no location ...

It will be at Territorial Capital Museum since it says it is an open house there and Lecompton does not have an Episcopal Church anymore. It's a yearly event in the same location.

toe, Lecompton was the Territorial Capital of the Kansas Territory from 1855 until Statehood. And yes, the Lecompton Constitution which would have allowed admission of Kansas to the Union as a slave state was written there. That Constitution passed the U.S. Senate but failed in the U.S. House of Representatives by eight votes in 1858.(Mumbling to self: mumble mumble people don't read history anymore mumble mumble mumble wouldn't hurt to actually go visit these places mumble mumble mumble.)
