Old Prairie Town at Ward-Meade Historic Site is a Shawnee County Parks and Recreation property at 124 NW Fillmore St in Topeka. Its page states, “Have your wedding in a historic location! For information on our wedding packages, see our weddings brochure,” confirming the site is used for weddings. The property includes the Ward-Meade mansion, a replica 1854 log cabin, several period buildings and a botanical garden, and a separate general facility-rentals option also exists for the buildings and grounds.

The page itself does not state capacity, indoor/outdoor breakdown, weather backup, catering or alcohol rules, accessibility, or rental rates; those details are in a linked wedding brochure and general facility-rentals document that were not opened for this review. Ask Gena Brooks (785-251-6993, gena.brooks@snco.us) for the wedding brochure, event-space capacity, indoor/outdoor and weather-backup options, catering and alcohol policy, accessibility, and current pricing.
