The Friends of Historic Topeka Cemetery met at the cemetery office yesterday and became an official entity! Jason Wilson is the president, Judy Perkins is secretary, and Jeanne Mithen is treasurer. Don Chubb was our first charter member. There will be a standing meeting of the Friends each Wednesday at 11 a.m. Those Wednesdays will be spent researching, planning, and building our research room.
The Friends' mission: To support Historic Topeka Cemetery in its missions to preserve its grounds and buildings, promote Topeka and Kansas history, and educate Topekans on the legacies created by their forebears – the extraordinary and the ordinary, the famous and the infamous, the entrepreneur and the artist.
Join us!
