@ 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. Check this landing page in the coming months for updates on scheduling and featured speakers. Civil War on the Border 2026 is sponsored by the John Nalbandian Gift Fund. This series is part of America at 250. Thursday, August 20 Quantrill’s Raid Walking Tour The Revolution’s Last Men: Online Talk with Don N.
