Baldwin City is home to Baker University, founded in 1858 and the oldest university in Kansas — a genuine anchor institution for a town of under 5,000 people. We deliver here directly to family homes and short-term rentals rather than a hotel bell stand, since the town’s own lodging options are limited.
Baldwin City — a small college town
Baker University’s campus includes the Old Castle Museum, housed in the school’s original 1858 “College Building.” Each October, the Maple Leaf Festival — Kansas’s largest arts-and-crafts festival, running since 1958 — fills downtown Baldwin City with 300-plus vendor booths, a Saturday parade, and excursion train rides on the Midland Railway from the historic Santa Fe Depot. The Lumberyard Arts Center adds year-round gallery, music, and theater programming downtown.
