Our Vision for 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS & Members OF OPHS!
As we turn the page on another year, the Overland Park Historical Society looks forward to 2025 with great excitement and renewed energy. Exterior work on the Strang Depot, now formally known as “Discover O.P.,” is complete and attention is turning to the interior renovations. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this work is the restoration of the depot’s original 1906 exterior façade, which is now located inside the building. The façade will be part of a multi-purpose space featuring rotating exhibits, temporary displays, and a gift shop. Discover O.P. has also been designed to become an event space for groups of 50 or less. Construction will begin in early 2025 and is expected to be completed by late spring. We also look forward to hosting a series of open-house events designed to increase awareness of OPHS and Discover O.P., which will become a wonderful addition to the downtown area.
Become a Friend in 2025
There is no better time than the start of a new year to consider becoming a Friend of OPHS by providing support at one of the following levels:
Strang Level: $1,000
Gold Level: $500
Silver Level: $250

All supporting levels will receive recognition annually in the OPHS Newsletter, The Membership Directory, and on the OPHS website.
As a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization, the Overland Park Historical Society relies on individual and corporate support to fund our mission of preserving, promoting, and bringing to life our living history. In 2025 and beyond, we will need increased levels of financial support as we become more and more active in fulfilling that mission. We appreciate your ongoing annual support at any level!
