The restoration of Lawrence’s Union Pacific Depot in 1991 symbolizes the community’s commitment to preserving historical sites. In 1996, the depot opened as the Visitor Information Center operated by the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau. The center distributes information to visitors about Lawrence attractions, accommodations and special events. Five different self-guided tours are also available at the center as well as a 27 minute docudrama called "Lawrence: Free State Fortress." The film chronicles the first 10 years of Lawrence's history and culminates with Quantrill's Raid of the city in 1863. Film is shown on request.
