The Overland Park Historical Society has been preserving and interpreting the history of Overland Park since 1995 thanks to the support of members, friends and generous donors.
With the opening of DISCOVER OP in 2025, the society has a new primary gateway to Overland Park’s history. It’s a place where the community’s memories are being preserved, interpreted, and shared. With your help, it will become a vibrant part of Downtown Overland Park where residents and visitors can connect with the past to better understand and celebrate Overland Park's heritage.
