There are at least 2 jail cells in town - or rather, 2 locations where jail cells used to be. 1 is inside the old powerplant on High St, and one is in the basement under City Hall. Obviously, they've not been used for a minute or two.

Former presidents Truman and Ford visited as well, and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited at the dedication of Osborne Chapel in 1996.

Bonus: Why should there not be a period after the S in Harry S Truman's name?

Today weβre focusing on @bclibrary_ks for #FunFriday150! On August 29th, 1992, the Library recruited volunteers to form a human chain and move all the books from their former location on 8th Street down to the current address.
Teddy Roosevelt is among the celebrities and famous individuals who've visited Baldwin City over the years. Granted, it was more like passing through. But he DID give a speech from the back of a train, so there's that.

Today's #FunFriday150: In 1923, city ordinance 223 proclaimed it a misdemeanor to spit on "floors, sidewalks, etc." The fine was "not less than $2 and not more than $25," which translates to nearly a $375 maximum fine in 2020 currency.
Thanks to @bclibrary_ks for today's fun!
It's Friday!
In 1858, all properties in original Baldwin City had a deed restriction that if alcohol is made or sold on the premises the property would revert to the Kansas Education Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
