Monday, July 24, 2023 marked the House of Capper and the Capper Cooperative Park dedication at the Kansas State Fairgrounds. The House of Capper and the Capper Cooperative Park are used for educational outreach to highlight the importance of cooperatives in a local community. The Capper Cooperative Park utilizes graphic storyboards and landscape to create an educational walk-through. It tells the story of how cooperatives began, the Capper Volstead Act of 1922, and the legacy of Arthur Capper.

The House of Capper stands as a tribute to Arthur Capper (former Governor of Kansas and later U.S. Senator). As many may know, Arthur Capper spearheaded the Capper-Volstead Act in 1922, which gives agricultural producer organizations limited antitrust immunity and allows farmers to form cooperatives and market their products collectively. The House of Capper is also the only permanent tribute signifying the importance of cooperatives in the United States. Central Prairie Co-op is proud to have been a sponsor for this endeavor, and the Central Prairie Co-op plaque can be found on one of the pillars of the structure.
