In this 150th anniversary year of the August 16, 1862 battle, the Lone Jack Historical Society invites everyone to join in honoring those heroes who fought for their beliefs and those who stayed to keep the home fires burning for their safe return. We honor those who fought in both Federal blue and Confederate gray as they were all Americans.

Spirit Ride is a motorcycle ride fundraiser in partnership with Gail’s Harley-Davidson, General Motors, the Kansas City Area Chevy Dealers and the VFW. All proceeds from the event support the National World War I Museum, the nation’s only museum dedicated to sharing the stories of the Great War.

The digs will simulate actual digs of real archaeologists, and allow children to find and take home authentic artifacts.
