Things to do in Lawrence

Lawrence is home to the University of Kansas, and the university’s research, medical and engineering programs bring faculty, recruiters, visiting scholars and industry partners to town year-round. The city has a history that runs deeper than most college towns: it was founded by antislavery settlers in 1854 and burned during Quantrill’s raid in 1863. Basketball has its own special place here, since James Naismith, the game’s inventor, coached at KU, and his original rules are displayed on campus.
