Pink Hill Park was once a rural setting in Sni-A-Bar Township, home to local residents involved in an agrarian way of life. Their lives were upset for nearly a decade during the Border War with residents of the Kansas Territory beginning in 1854 and extending through the Civil War. Thanks to the Jackson County Historical Society, this book shares the history of Pink Hill Park and how the surrounding community evolved. The 2010 Blue Springs exhibition of The Wall That Heals in Pink Hill Park led to the Veterans Way Memorial.
