Here’s an easy way to get involved in the celebration of Boone County’s 200th anniversary. On Saturday, Feb. 16,  local artist Stacy Self will be visiting Ashland to gather information for a mural to highlight the communities in the county.

Several sessions throughout Boone County will be held in the next six months, starting with this one at 9 a.m. Saturday in the Southern Boone County Public Library, according to this Boone County news release  and this Feb. 12, 2019, Columbia Missourian article.

Once completed, the mural will be displayed in the Boone County History and Culture Center.

For more information about the mural or other Boone County bicentennial plans, contact: Janet Thompson at jthompson@boonecountymo.org or 573-886-4309.
