Looking Back Jackson County Roads Celebration by Marcia Napier Grain Valley Historical Society On Wednesday, October 12, 1932, several thousand Jackson County residents and dignitaries from across the state converged at Sni-ABar Farms to celebrate the completion of the Jackson County Roads Project. It was front page news in the Sunday, October 9th edition of the Kansas City Star. The pictorial article included “Glimpses along newly paved roads of the county’s 10 million dollar highway system which
have been said to rank second to only one other county in the United States”. The governor and future President Harry Truman were among those attending the County Road Celebration at Sni-A-Bar along Federal Highway No. 40. As part of the celebration, two high school girls attired in turn of the century costumes arrived in a horse drawn carriage and left in a small propeller driven airplane.
