Planning for Chase County Courthouse’s sesquicentennial celebrations has been officially greenlighted by the county commission, following a Thursday morning meeting at the courthouse. Chase County Historical Society director Dawn Sisson, CCHS board members Sharon and Delwin Burton, and Chase County Chamber of Commerce director Toni Schneider presented preliminary research and ideas related to the courthouse’s 150th birthday. Sisson said she’s been collecting history since before COVID-19 and has found a number of useful items. That includes a centennial book that was published in 1972 that included basic community information. She also found newspaper collections, scrapbooks and cookbooks.
