Thank you celebration with committee members

 

Wabaunsee County has a strong commitment to its heritage, ranching culture, and small-town lifestyle. Drawing on historic roots, local citizens create experiences that appeal to new audiences,  build community, attract new people to Wabaunsee County, and support the local economy.

The exhibit explores the deep roots of this place, the foundation for our growth into the future. It tells stories of local citizens who enrich the community through volunteerism, innovative industry, or safeguarding heritage sites.  In their own words they bear witness to a sense of place they hold dear.

There are many people who could not be included due to space and time.  A debt of gratitude is owed to all the citizens of Wabaunsee County who understand the  privilege of living in this extraordinary place and who work hard every day to preserve its culture.

Thank you!
