0405: Oak Grove School and the History of the Osage Trail

Built in 1877, the Oak Grove Schoolhouse has been a gathering place for the community of Lincoln Township for generations. In this episode, Rachel talks with Cary Pruitt and Roger Pruitt from the Oak Grove Schoolhouse Historical Society. 

Part family history, part Kansas history, partly a story about family legacy, we think you'll find this episode to be informative, entertaining, and important.
