Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area has awarded the Lawrence Public Library Foundation a $4,525 grant for its “Hike Through History on the Burroughs Creek Trail” project, the library announced this week.

The grant will assist the Lawrence Public Library in the development of its traveling exhibit, which examines key historical points along the Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park, a 1.7-mile concrete-paved path running from 11th Street to 23rd Street in East Lawrence.

“Hike Through History” aims to “connect public humanities with health and wellness” through a series of pop-up display panels covering historical highlights such as Quantrill’s Raid, the Oregon Trail, early railroad history and Lawrence’s World War II-era prisoner-of-war branch camp, as well as Beat Generation writer, one-time Lawrence resident and trail namesake William S. Burroughs.

The exhibit is scheduled to be unveiled in late June at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. After its run at the library, “Hike Through History” will travel to various venues throughout the Lawrence area, including the East Lawrence Recreation Center, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Kansas University campus.
