Kay, have they tried going to the State Historical Society to see if there are grants available out there for the preservation of these old buildings. Or the National Historical Preservation Society? Surely, with enough grant funds (and I know other towns have done this) the old could all be removed and the whole thing restored. You might also check thru the Division of Tourism with the State of Missouri. Afterall, this is one of Stockton's few historical attractions and I know in Kansas our Tourism dept will sometimes give grant money to restore things like this. -----Original Message----- >From: Kay Snow <kgsno@alltel.net> >Sent: Nov 13, 2006 9:22 PM >To: mocedar@rootsweb.com >Subject: [MOCEDAR] Need everyone's input > >Listmembers, please go look at the notice on the Cedar County Historical >Society web site. > >We need your ideas.

Can the Society get a report from the city showing what needs to be done to bring the building up to code? I see a group of (the usual, dedicated Historical Society) volunteers contacting various contractors in masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. in the area, and reminding them of their area's history and asking them to join a coalition of craftsmen to restore the building. No one company would be out much and could perhaps take a tax deduction for work value along with generating local goodwill for them. My great grandfather was one of the town doctors at the time the jail was built; his father was assassinated by Quantrill's raiders on his return from a session of the Missouri Legislature in 1863. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ecummins@hit.net> To: <mocedar@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 8:47 AM Subject: Re: [MOCEDAR] Need everyone's input > Kay, have they tried going to the State Historical Society to see if there > are grants available out there for the preservation of these old > buildings.
