Yes, we were known as Baghdad on the Kaw! Join Dr. Bob Dinsdale, local Lawrence history aficionado and tour leader, for a six-block walk through downtown Lawrence to learn about the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s that culminated in marches, riots, martial law, arson, and killings in our city of 45,000 souls.

This tour meets outside the front entrance of the Watkins Museum of History. Please register in advance. Part of the Lawrence 1970s Project.

Tickets will become available May 24. Check back here for a ticketing link!
