The Atchison County Historical Society began work November 9th, on the Future Historic Black Business District Museum building. This 1920 structure is located in the 1100 block of N 7th Street by LFM Park. In conjunction with the building clean-up,the Black Business District fundraising team held a bake sale. The group recently took possession of the three structures and is dedicated to preserving Atchison's rich cultural history.
A special thanks to all who assisted with our clean-up up day or donated baked goods which was a huge success. For more information on the Atchison Black Business District join us on our Facebook page; or the Atchison Historical Society Facebook page. If you would like to donate to the revitalization of these buildings or become a member of the Atchison County Historical Society you may do so in person or make a check to: Atchison Co.

We are trying to collect donations to help us with any potential match funds when we apply for grants to repair the buildings.
Additionally, we are looking for folks with building skills to help us with the work.
