From early 1850's to early 1900's, in Lawrence Ks. there was a Bismark
Gardens in what we now call North Lawrence. It was a grand park where people
with to ride carriages, carousels and stroll with their friends My dad and
2nd cousin talk about the great times they had there. Sadly it is gone. On
the 25th anniversary anyone visiting signed a book and these are the names of
people from IN. Hope it helps someone.
