Pinckney Historic Walking Tour
Originally known as "West Lawrence" or the "West End," the historic Pinckney neighborhood was not separated from Old West Lawrence until highway construction after 1950. The history of this area near the Kansas River dates back to the earliest settlement of Lawrence. This walking tour will focus on the history of the area as well as specific buildings in the neighborhood.
The tour will begin at the Constant Park parking lot on the northeast corner of 6th and Tennessee Street. We will proceed north on Tennessee, west on 4th to Indiana, south to the old West End grocery, then east on the north side of 6th Street returning to the parking lot (approximately 8 blocks).
