Between 1865 and 1880, Kansas attracted immigrants at a faster pace than anywhere else in the United States. This exhibit personalizes the story of immigration to the state over the last 150 years, revealing who these new Americans were, where they came from, and why they came to Kansas.

Americans by Choice was developed as part of the 150th anniversary celebration of the U.S. District Court of Kansas and is permanently on display in the Robert J. Dole Courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas. A traveling version of the exhibit is coming to the Library.
