The Best Landmarks in Overland Park

It is located in the Santa Fe Commons park in the area that was the first airfield west of the Mississippi. The attractive, but small building houses a collection of historic photographs and documents, as well as a few small displays of local artifacts. In the early 1900s, Overland Park had an airfield, aviation school, a grand stand, large hanger and other facilities where at least one airplane was built and weekend crowds would come to watch barn storming performances.

I have driven by this memorial numerous times over the years buy never stopped to see it until today. The Korean War ended before I was born, and it seems to be a “forgotten” war of the 20th Century. The City of Overland Park did a nice job building this and it is worth seeing to remind us of all the people who have given their lives for our country.

Good for family's that like history. Has the history of each disaster and also a piece of theTrade Center. Small area so there is not a lot of walking , all on flat ground and easy access. Good for taking pictures.
