Celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday with an special installment of History on Tap! Our final session of 2026 explores the local history we live within every day.<\/p>\n

Johnson County is filled with landmarks and place names honoring early leaders of the Shawnee Nation, yet many pass these parks, roads, and schools without knowing the stories behind them. Local historian Jenna Peterson Riley will trace the Shawnee Nation\u2019s forced journey into Kansas 200 years ago, the resilient communities they built, and how their history remains woven into our modern landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
