A tornado once tore the heart out of Lawrence—and the city rebuilt itself stronger and stranger than before. This self-guided audio tour leads you down vibrant Massachusetts Street, past storied stadiums and hidden corners, revealing secrets even lifelong locals miss.

Why did entire crowds once flee from David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in panic? Which whispered scandal forced a book off the shelves at the Lawrence Public Library? What traces remain from the day a forgotten parade changed the city’s laws overnight?

Walk the veins of Downtown where every storefront holds echoes of rebellion and every brick hides tales of intrigue. Feel the city’s pulse in the shuffle of feet and the roar of old crowds. With each step, trade the surface for the unseen drama woven into Lawrence’s soul.

The city is waiting to speak—let the storm’s wild energy pull you in. Start your journey now.
