Building for a Growing Community
In 1997, some of the Basehor Pride organization members got involved with the Historical Society and have been instrumental in the development of plans for a new building. Wes Neu, Jeral Cooper, and Becky Doyal formulated and promoted the idea for a large facility to house both the Basehor Museum and a Regional Conference Center. Late in 1998, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Breuer, long-time Basehor residents, donated ten acres of land to the Society for the building site.
Fund raising efforts are now underway for the construction of the 29,000 square foot facility to be built at the SW corner of 158th and Parallel.
