Douglas County, Kansas
Douglas County is in the eastern part of Kansas with about 120,000 residents. It’s where you’ll find Lawrence and the University of Kansas.
Massachusetts Street in Lawrence is the place to be, lined with shops and restaurants. The Haskell Cultural Center gives you a look at Native American history.
If you’re around in October, don’t miss the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin City. It’s small-town fall fun at its best. And for a bit of movie magic, check out the farmhouse from the Superman movies just outside of Lawrence.
