Legacies of the Kelloggs and Booths with Pete Shortridge In-Person
Join us for a fascinating journey through time as Pete Shortridge, Curator of the Pleasant Hill Historical Society and Professor Emeritus of History at KU, teaches us about the legacies of two important families in Pleasant Hill, MO history.
The Kellogg family is known for the expansive greenhouses used by the George M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Company and for building the Kellogg Opera House.
The Booth family is known for their involvement in the poultry industry and for being the reason why the high school nickname is "Roosters and Chicks".
This engaging program is perfect for history buffs and anyone curious about the heritage of Pleasant Hill.
