Murals find permanent home at youth center

Rich Hill artist, Bob Schlyer, developed the three-panel series on the Osage Indian who lived in this area. These murals originally hung in the Nevada Community Center and are now permanently installed in the one-room schoolhouse at McGennis Youth Center.

Amazing what hidden local treasures one can find in out-of-the-way places.

The McGennis Youth Center near Rich Hill, Mo., a 160-acre area donated in the mid-60s by brother and sister, Connie and Mary McGennis, is nearing an important birthday next year marking 50 years of serving the youth and families in the area. In addition to cottages for youth camps, the center includes a small restored chapel, moved onto the grounds from Bates County, a red barn, as well as a 6-acre lake.
