Take A Trip Back In History With The Pettis County Museum
The Pettis County Museum has been closed for a while, naturally. A lot of things have been closed the last year and half or so. But now, they re ready to re-open with an Open House. It ll be going on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Museum, which is at 228 Dundee Avenue. It s kinda behind the new location of Little Big Horn. You ll know it when you see it.
Anyway, you can stop by and see some awesome exhibits, but you can also get interactive. Becky Imhauser (you know, the local Sedalia history expert) will be there to portray Clemence Kahn, who was the founder of the Pettis County Red Cross. She was also a local Jewish community leader! I bet you could pick her brain on how a lot of things used to be back in the day.
For his family, the citizens of Lee County and the wounded soldiers he evacuated during the Vietnam War, Fred Bartleson was the right person at the right time.
