The Lawrence Visitor Center is in the old railroad terminal and trains run just a few feet from the back door. Volunteers are up on their history and offer great advice on Lawrence history and sites to see. There is a meeting room, a display room and a wonderful sculpture of a Phoenix in the front circle.

We started here to see the building which is the old railroad depot. Watched about a 30 minute movie on the history of Lawrence. They had some artifacts and many brochures about the area. Interesting stop but not much there.

I have been here for several venues: weddings, parties, and presentations. It is better for weddings and parties. Presentations have to stop when a train goes by as you cannot hear.

It's a small place, but you can find some information about Lawrence and Kansas. You should go there before visit any other place.

First of all, this place is actually on the OTHER side of the Kansas River, away from the main action. It's an old Union Pacific railway depot. Only a small portion is actually visitor center space and it has the usual assortment of pamphlets and info regarding local attractions you would expect to see. We did ask about the movie...

Located in the old train station, the Lawrence Visitors Center is a great historic site and also an excellent place to stop and get information about things to see and do in and around the City of Lawrence. If you're lucky maybe a train will pass through while you are there.
