Course detail: Prairie Prestige: Day Trip to Abilene

Let's explore the "Best Small Town to Visit in the U.S."! We'll tour Abilene's beautifully renovated Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home, then head to the famous Brookville Hotel for a scratch-made, fried chicken lunch. Once our bellies are full, we'll take a docent-led tour of the Seelye Mansion, an opulent residence with original 1904 Edison light fixtures, a Tiffany-style mantel and bowling alley.  


Trip includes executive coach transportation, admission to both sites, a docent-led tour of the Seelye Mansion and lunch at the Brookville Hotel. The coach will pick up and drop off students at the St. Andrews Office Building in Lawrence and at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park.
