Junction City will be a stop on the Kansas African American History Trail.

The trail is a roadmap of African American history throughout the state that will include stopping points in Minneapolis, Dunlap, and Wichita – to name a few.

Jim Sands, City Commissioner, said that the team working on the project now has to decide which historical locations to include for Junction City.

“Next year in September is when this whole grant has got to be finished…we’ll probably go around the state and look at [the stops] with the people who helped put this together.”

Rathert Field and the Buffalo Soldier Monument are among the locations being touted for the trail.

The trail is meant to promote tourism across the state.
