Hitting the Road:100 Years on the Victory Highway

Hitting the Road: 100 Years on the Victory Highway, an exhibit made in partnership between Tonganoxie Community Historical Society, Watkins Museum of History, Wyandotte County Museum with images from the Kansas Historical Society, tells the story of the 1923 picnic and the history of road development that proceeded Victory Highway (now US24/40). The exhibit also highlights the road’s origins as a war memorial, its state-of-the-art paving, and shares stories of the road’s impact on the lives of communities it passed through.
