Vinland Church Recalls Pioneer Days In Kansas
Weathered Vinland Presbyterian Church near Lawrence recalls 19th century pioneer efforts. Built in 1879 by local farmers under Rev. A. V. Stout with land donated by W. E. Barnes, the church later closed in 1943 after serving 64 years with nearly 20 ministers including James Naismith. Now a curiosity, vandals stripped windows and woodwork while locals hope for renovation as a historical site.
