With its skyline dominated by the campus of the University of Kansas; the history of Lawrence cannot be divorced from the history of the academy; its influence; and impact. The history of any town; however; is much more than the story of one institution or issue. Lawrence is also a river town; located in an agriculturally rich valley; and Massachusetts Street; its main commercial street; harkens back to its mid-19th century New England origins and influences. Lawrence is also a place of diversity and change; a community where space is contested and disparate opinions make for vital public discourse.
