The Kansas Riverkings Museum opened in 2015 in Abe & Jakes Landing on the banks of the Kansas River. The museum tells the story of the Kansas River commercial fishing industry in the Lawrence area from 1870-1970. As Director of the museum, Higgins-Dover & a talented group of young professionals created the documentary “When Kings Reigned.” The film tells the story of the lives of these men and the legal battles they faced.
