Posted March 26, 2019 02:42pm
(KAIR)--As the impact of the recent flooding of the Missouri River continues to be felt, a video posted to YouTube explores Atchison’s history in relation to the river.
The video is courtesy of the Kansas Humanities Council, and was posted in 2014.
It features residents from Atchison, including Atchison County Historical Society Executive Director Chris Taylor, Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce President Jacque Pregont, and others.
The video becomes timely as Atchison, and surrounding communities, remain impacted by the recent flooding that left devastation in its wake, including in Buchanan County, Missouri, just east of Atchison.
