As the first Ray County Historical Society "Travel Through Time" bus tour proved to be a huge success, the society has scheduled a second tour for Saturday, July 9 with Hal Middleton and Steve Hitchcock as the tour guides.
The site, owned by Missouri State Parks, is associated with the Battle of Island Mound where black soldiers fought for freedom for the first time in the Civil War. An archaeological excavation is being conducted at the site to answer important research questions about the events that took place at this historic location in 1862.
