Summer Picnic - 2021
It was so good to gather for our Annual Indoor Picnic with great food, great friends and an all-around good time! You can always join the fun by becoming a member of OPHS. Just email us!
Thank you to everyone who Donated to SafeHome in December!
Throughout the month of December , the Overland Park Historical lSociety collected new mittens, hats, gloves and scarves to donate to Safehome , the temporary shelter in Johnson County for victims of domestic violence. There is a great need for these items in winter, as often young victims of abuse have to flee their homes for the safety of Safehome, without an opportunity to gather appropriate garments. We are so thankful to everyone who took the time to shop for and donate these items. A special thank -you to those who hand-knitted some wonderful scarves. OPHS is very pleased with the number of donated items we gathered and look forward to delivering them to Safehome very soon.

Maloney's Bar and Grill
Members of the Overland Park Historical Society enjoyed our final general membership meeting of the year at Maloney's on 79th St. Two of our new members joined us for the first time, and it was fun getting to know them. We also had surprise entertainment courtesy of the "Coronaliers" who sang and danced some fun numbers, including a Depot fundraising song sung to the theme from Petticoat Junction. Maloney's served up great meals for our members as we wrapped up business. Thanks to those who attended and helped to create a fun morning for OPHS! If anyone is interested in learning more about OPHS please email us at info@ophistorical.org or drop by our office!
Our puzzles are also available in our online store for out of market purchases. Get them before they are history.

OPHS hosts small picnic gathering at new Thompson Park
Members of the Overland Park Historical Society met for a membership picnic on September 5 under the main shelter at Thompson Park. It was so nice to see so many of our members attend and catch up. Some of us also took a tour of the nearby Strang Depot building, where Brad Moore walked everyone through our plans for the renovation and restoration of the building in the corner of 80th & Santa Fe. We gained two new members too! Photos courtesy of Brad Moore
