About this Event

For over 30 years, the Civil War on the Border series has marked the anniversary of Quantrill’s Raid on Lawrence with bus and walking tours, historical talks, and a moving memorial service for the victims of the raid. Every annual series has a theme, and in 2026 we’ll acknowledge connections between 1776 and 1863 by rebranding the series as American Revolution AND Civil War on the Border.

Tickets for paid events will go on sale August 5.

Civil War on the Border 2026 is sponsored by Humanities Kansas and the John Nalbandian Gift Fund.
