We're visiting the in-laws in the Lawrence/Kansas City area for Thanksgiving and are looking for some activities to keep us busy. What are the must-see museums, events, and other such places that we can squeeze into our trip?

Assume 2-4 adults, no kids, money not a factor, anywhere within a couple of hours drive from the Lawrence area is eligible. Sports, arts, theater, and train-related experiences are all welcome!

I need some Madison, WI and Lawrence, KS comparisons. Which one? I see these two college towns brought up many times here on askme and other places when questions about walkability, simplicity, urbanity in a small setting, etc. are discussed. I ask because I am looking at possibly moving and have pretty much narrowed it down to Madison or Lawrence (with Asheville an outside possibility). I don't mean demographics, weather, etc. Inside I'll tell you what I'm looking for..... [more inside]
