Senior Wednesday: Wichita public school monuments Senior Wednesday: Wichita public school monuments

"Pedagogical Memorials -- Origins of Wichita Public School Monuments" is the focus of Senior Wednesday (for art enthusiasts 55 and older) from 10-11:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 20, at the Ulrich Museum of Art. Admission is free.

Brass plaques set in stone are often the only lasting reminders of local historical significance. The events and accomplishments that precipitated their public recognition are not always well known. Paul Oberg, curator of the McCormick School Museum and Archives and local museologist, will identify a few of the more consequential school monuments in Wichita and present the stories behind their historical dedication.
