This September, join Johnson County Public Library’s CommUnity Matters team in celebrating 200 years of Johnson County History.
From now through Sept. 30, visit historical Johnson County sites at your own pace, track your visits and earn points in the Actionbound app. When you complete the quest, you could win a fantastic prize basket filled with Johnson County Bicentennial swag, courtesy of the Johnson County Museum of History.
Learn fun facts about the Historic Artcraft Theatre, the former admin building for Nineveh-Jackson-Hensley School Corporation in Trafalgar, and the fascinating history behind the current Southside Art League building in Greenwood. You can earn points by visiting the Johnson County Museum of History’s Bicentennial exhibit, Nineveh Township’s Community Day, and riding the Little Steamers train at Johnson County Park.
To join the quest, visit PageAfterPage.org/quest for more details about the program and to download the Actionbound App. Don’t have a smartphone? No worries! You can print paper versions or pick them up at any JCPL Branch Library. Participants may also pick up a button featuring the quest mascot, Benjamin the Bison, at any JCPL location.
CommUnity Matters, the leading community education and engagement forum in Johnson County, is a volunteer team that uplifts our county’s attributes, takes on challenges in our community and collaborates with stakeholders to find opportunities to improve how we work, live, learn and play.
