Hi, traveler! I’m Beau, and I LOVE history!
Welcome to the Buffalo Soldier Monument and Pawnee Park! Geary County is filled with amazing history, but my favorite stories are about soldiers, the Army, and the people who helped shape our community.
Take a good look around while you’re here. You’ll discover the story of the Buffalo Soldiers and learn about their important connection to this area.
The monument is also part of the Black History Trail of Geary County, which highlights places that are important to local Black history.
I spend lots of time here reading, exploring, and collecting interesting facts. I’m always learning something new!
If I’m home the next time you visit, maybe I’ll share some of my favorite trivia with you!
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know the Buffalo Soldiers were Black soldiers who served on the American frontier after the Civil War? The famous 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were formed in 1866, and Buffalo Soldiers later served right here at Fort Riley, Kansas!
