In its special coverage of Osage County's 150th birthday this year, The Osage County Herald-Chronicle devotes a page to all - including Overbrook, which is called "A city with a great future, built on a trail of success."

If you missed the paper's coverage, you can read it all online at the newspaper's web site.

You can also download the special page devoted to Overbrook.

The coverage is comprehensive - and quite compelling for those interested in local history. Learn more about Osage Country's cities, its schools and some of the famous people who once lived here. Also included are stories about the history of schools, farming, rivers, Indians, cemeteries and newspapers in the county throughout the past 150 years.

The Overbrook Fair takes place Aug. 12 - 15, 2009. The theme for this year's parade is "From Pioneer Days to Modern Ways."
