Merriam Historic Plaza & Visitors Bureau is a beautification project along Interstate-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway. Opening in September 2006, this project will enhance the entrance to Merriam and provide visitors and residents with an outdoor preview of Merriam’s history from pre-settlement to current day. A paved walking path, historic signage, beautiful fountains and custom-designed sculptures are a few of the features of this new site. Merriam Historic Plaza will also be the new home for Merriam Visitors Bureau and includes meeting space for up to 50 people, available by appointment (fees apply; please inquire).
The project is funded through the I-35 Redevelopment District funds and a Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) transportation enhancement grant.
Historic Signage Stations ~ The Merriam Historic Plaza & Visitors Bureau features 12 outdoor markers depicting the history of Merriam from pre-settlement to current day.
