75 years later, B-25 bomber builders in KCK remembered

The Bomber Builders Memorial at the Wyandotte County Museum, Bonner Springs, was rededicated at a wreath-laying ceremony on Sept. 25 to honor the more than 59,000 people who worked at the B-25 plant in Kansas City, Kan., about 75 years ago, during the World War II era. A new exhibit on the B-25 plant and the people who worked there opened Sept. 25 at the museum. Speakers at the event were, left to right, and Unified Government Commissioner Hal Walker, representing Mayor Mark Holland; Trish Schurkamp, Wyandotte County Museum executive director; Bonner Springs Mayor Pro Tem Tom Stephens; and Edwardsville Mayor John (Tiny) McTaggart, who is the president of the Wyandotte County Historical Society.
