Where to stay in Lawrence

Default Image

Oread

4.5/5(12 area reviews)

If you're spending some time in Oread, South Park Wading Pool and Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area Exhibit are top sights worth seeing.

Oread
Dusk looking out over the valley below Mount Oread. Nothing beats wandering this scenic campus to the sound of the carillon bells which sound every quarter hour. On Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoons faculty or students perform on the instrument. Wander the green space around Potters Lake during a concert for a truly magical experience. The campanile is a WWII memorial, so be sure to check out the structure itself too.

Downtown Lawrence

If you're spending some time in Downtown Lawrence, Lawrence Arts Center and Watkins Community Museum of History are top sights worth seeing.
