We'll make this short. A couple of weeks ago I approached the council about an old map of Johnson County that Glenn Pilcher has in his home. He has offered this map to various museums in the area, but each one of them wants to file it away as opposed to putting it on display. What a shame.
I have a suggestion as to where it can be placed, right here in Shawnee. On the wall next to the Planning Department at city hall. With the historical mural painted in the lobby it would make perfect sense.
Anyway, more information about this can be found in this article in the Dispatch
