Kansas Studies Institute, in partnership with the Quindaro Ruins Project Foundation, is continuing to clean and clear historic foundations from the 1850s Kansas City, Kansas, port town — home to Wyandot Nation members, African Americans and abolitionists. Volunteers will clean and clear vegetation from the ruins.
Wear pants, long sleeves, sturdy footwear, and insect repellent. Bring gloves, water, insect repellent, and (if you have them) sharpened pruners and loppers (no power tools, please).
Due to the terrain, volunteers need to be age 12 and up.
Meet at Allen Chapel AME Church, 3421 N. 29th St. in Kansas City, Kansas, to receive additional directions and information. Questions? Contact Tai Edwards, taied@jccc.edu
