South Howard County Historical Society

This is good news for our monument located on the trail by the parkway.

Our monument is featured in the Santa Fe Trail article by Tim Carson in the current Missouri Life edition! The Rock downtown New Franklin is also pictured. We were honored to have Tim visit and present a lecture recently.

Did not know this and had not ever seen this picture. Interesting Franklin, MO history!

From our Co Vice President, Sue Thompson: While the New Franklin Cork & More has been canceled I wanted to take a minute to thank the wineries, vendors and people who make this a great event each year. I would like to encourage everyone to visit these beautiful wineries when this over, buy their wines at a store near you, get a gift certificate on line or opt for their curbside pickup. These are all small businesses and I know they would appreciate any and all business. A ...big thank you to Wildlife Ridge Winery, Twin Meadows Winery, Cooper’s Oak & Skullsplitter’s, Baltimore Bend Winery, Giggling Grapes Winery, Bushwhacker Bend Winery (you can pick up their wine at Jenning’s Meats) and Serenity Valley Winery! Also thank you to all the other vendors and donors who support us. We will keep you posted if we are able to rescheduled! Mark your calendar for the 3rd Saturday in March next year! See more
