Fort Ben Cultural Campus

Lawrence is getting the first version of permanent musical swings! The historic theater on the campus was built in 1929 as a theater to entertain the enlisted men at Fort Benjamin Harrison. It is the only remaining historic building still used for its originally intended purpose. The main entrance to the Fort Ben Cultural Campus is formal and bricked and reminiscent of the Fort’s past. Limestone benches will line the walk. Each one hand carved by award winning artist Cheryl Lorance, to tell a story of Fort Harrison through art.
