the future education of our children, to go forward while remembering our very important past. On October 12, 2006, President Bush signed legislation that designated several new National Heritage Areas. The border counties of Missouri and Kansas have been designated as, “Freedom’s Frontier.” This is a wonderful honor and we are very excited about the impact this designation is going to have for the Lone Jack Civil War Battlefield Museum and Cemetery. The Lone Jack Historical Society is also a member of the Missouri/Kansas Border War Network, an association of historical societies that have joined together to promote their sites and preserve the stories of the Missouri-Kansas Border Wars. The group includes members from Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Cass, Bates, and Vernon counties in Missouri and Johnson, Douglas, and Miami counties in Kansas . Our goal is to promote the stories of the people who lived and died during this bloody era. The story of the Border Wars is finally beginning to gain national attention and we want to promote tourism for each site. By joining together we are able to access greater resources and are able to exchange information in a prompt manner. We are very excited to be a part of this newly formed organization. If you would like more information about the Lone Jack Historical Society, please contact Alinda M. Miller at president@historiclonejack.org or call 816-805-1815. |
