The Blue Mound is a lonely, 1,054ft hill rising up from the prairie southeast of Lawrence, Kansas. It has been the center of history in northeast Kansas since the Kansa Tribes roamed the area, and it continued its importance through the westward expansion era of the Oregon and California trails, the Bleeding Kansas and Civil War era, and into modern times as a ski hill.

This documentary dives into the hill's rich history, and the historic events that have taken place in the shadow of its slopes, from explorers like John C. Fremont and Kit Carson, to Quantrill's Raid, to the construction of the University of Kansas.
