Historic Ruins Get Some TLC

Kansas City Star/Johnson County, August 30, 2005

A coalition of volunteers from the Western University Association of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Kansas City Kansas Community College and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City , Kansas , are working to preserve the Quindaro Ruins near Interstate 635 and the Missouri River .  On Monday, Stonemasons Don Hosking (left) and Daniel Falcon restored part of a brewery that was built in the 1850s.  The ruins are all that remains from the Kansas territory town of Quindaro , an anti-slavery outpost.

Berger Devine Yaeger, Inc. provided architectural stabilization.
