Historical Society joins in state’s bicentennial celebrations

     The Grain Valley Historical Society is partnering with its peer organizations in eastern Jackson County to celebrate Missouri’s Bicentennial.
     From July 5th—August 15th, the Grain Valley, Blue Springs, and Oak Grove Historical Societies, and the Lone Jack Civil War Battlefield and Museum invite visitors to participate in a Passport to History. Participants in the passport activity may visit all four locations during this period and enter their name in a drawing for prizes.
     As a part of its bicentennial celebrations, the Grain Valley Historical Society will offer extended hours, a coloring contest, an ice cream social on August 10th, and a banner for residents to sign.
     The Grain Valley Historical Society, located at 506 Main Street, will be open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:00am—4:00pm and Sundays from 1:00pm—4:00pm from July 8th—August 15th.
