30th ANNUAL PARK DAY
*VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*
Civil War soldiers who fought for their country and gave their lives in Lone Jack need your help. Over 150 years ago Union soldiers and Confederate recruits battled one another in eastern Jackson County. Many were laid to rest in Lone Jack’s hallowed battlefield ground. On April 25 as volunteers honor these brave men by defeating winter’s debris and dirt to clean and restore the battlefield and cemetery, museum and Cave Hotel, they honor all American veterans who came before and after them by sprucing up this veterans’ memorial.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 25, at the Lone Jack Civil War Battlefield Museum, ½ mile south of Hwy. 50. Clean up begins at 9:00 a.m. Lunch will be provided. Clean up should be finished by around 2:00 p.m.
To volunteer and reserve lunch, please email Alinda at President@historiclonejack.org. Please remember to bring gloves and dress for the weather. Remember to label all tools you bring.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!
