Celebrate 75 Raises $22,000


Despite a forecast calling for rain, June 7 turned out to be a beautiful evening—perfect for gathering with friends and supporters to enjoy delicious food, lively music, and shared history in the inspiring setting of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.

Michael Price, Local History Associate at the Springfield-Greene County Library, captivated the audience with a timeline of the foundation’s origins and its pivotal role in securing National Park Service designation for the battlefield.

We were pleased to have Springfield Mayor Jeff Schrag join us. A special thank-you goes to Wire Road Brewing for generously providing beer and wine, and Lamar Advertising Company for PSA billboards. We are grateful for our event sponsors who made the celebration such a resounding success.
