Memorial Hall Centennial: Organizing a Community Celebration

Memorial Hall Centennial: Organizing a Community Celebration

Published on December 10, 2024

In 2025, Wyandotte County will be celebrating 100 years of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building, or Memorial Hall. Designed by Rose & Peterson, the venue opened in 1925 as a civic auditorium and war memorial for World War I veterans. Over the decades, some of the hottest musical acts of the time performed at Memorial Hall. The building has been host to memorials, graduations, weddings, weekly dances, competitions, wrestling, roller derby, and so much more. We look forward to celebrating the rich history of Memorial Hall as we prepare for the next 100 years.
