The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will hold a FREE Lunch and Learn webinar about the 21 Crossing and Ranch on Tuesday, April 7, from noon to 1:15 p.m. Central Time.

Established in 1878 by Kansas cattle baron David Greever, the 21 Ranch comprised roughly 200,000 acres in Woods and Major Counties. The history of the original ranch boundaries encompasses everything from rugged outlaws and Native American tribal cairns to Nathan Boone’s 1843 dragoon expedition and the only viable, safe passage across the treacherous and unpredictable Cimarron River. SHPO’s Michael Mayes and Kristina Wyckoff discuss their National Register nomination for the 21 Crossing and Ranch.

The featured presenters will be Michael Mayes, National Register Coordinator for SHPO, and Kristina Wyckoff, the Section 106 Coordinator and Historical Archaeologist for SHPO.
