Hi Sandra, I accessed late 1800 - 1910 land deeds at the Wyandotte County Court House in downtown Kansas City, KS, during weekday hours. I can't remember what the name of the department is, but I got pointed in the right direction by the police officer and also by the woman in Vital Records. I'll give you a heads-up that the person at the front desk of the land deeds department was not receptive to my search. I had to get nicely insistent and then another person happened to come in who allowed me into the back to access and search. It surprised me that they weren't used to genealogists, as I often research elsewhere that really is prepared to accommodate. There seemed to be real estate or mortgage agents in the back with me who were also searching. They had two microfiche readers. They also seemed to know nothing about old land plats in that department and I ended up having to go down to the lower level for that department. Again, I cannot remember the name of the specific dept but think it was something like Surveys. I was able to pay for both a copy of the deeds that I wanted and was able to get a large copy of the old land plat. In this case, it was for the Piper area. All was reasonable, around $2 per set.
