Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

For Henry Fortunato — historian and veteran Kansas trail walker — Saturday, June 4, marks a different kind of pioneering step. From 9 to 11 a.m. this National Trails Day, he debuts samples of the Indian Creek Trail Project’s first four panels at the Roe Park Shelter, at 10400 Roe in Overland Park. . . .

The deeply researched and richly illustrated signs, kicking off an eventual series of 18, detail the lineage of the area’s land and its inhabitants, from long before statehood through the boom of recent generations. Reading one of them is like pausing for water on a hike, wondering for a moment what this area was like 100 years ago, and finding an encyclopedia open to just the right page — and then another volume, and another.
