We are celebrating America’s 250th Birthday year with some extra–special guest speakers and local brews at HISTORY ON TAP!
Get a special deep-dive into our local community’s history with Curator Andrew Gustafson as he shares stories from Johnson County Museum’s latest exhibition on “EVERYDAY DEMOCRACY.”
Democracy isn’t only written in founding documents or decided at the ballot box – it’s lived every day. For 250 years, people in Johnson County have claimed, challenged, and redefined the ideals of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Based on the Johnson County Museum’s special new exhibit, Everyday Democracy, this presentation will explore how ordinary people shape democracy through their choices, voices, and communities – and asks what role each of us will play in its future.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Your $8.00 admission includes the featured presentation and a complimentary beverage! Call (913) 248-2360 or visit ShawneeTown.org to book your seats.
**Friends of Shawnee Town Members are entitled to FREE ADMISSION (based on their Membership Level) – call (913) 248-2360 to register.
The event will be inside Shawnee Town 1929 Museum’s Town Hall at 11600 Johnson Drive, Shawnee, Kansas 66203.
