Field Trip to Greenwood and Pomona Townships

Louis Reed tells about Keokuk.

Huddled under a shelter with hands in pockets, braced against a chilly wind, several curious members of the Franklin County Rural History Club listened carefully. Fellow member Louis Reed was explaining what we would see during our first field trip of 2017, a Saturday excursion through west-central Franklin County. From our starting point here at Greenwood Baptist Church, we would meander through Greenwood and Pomona Townships, briefly crossing the line into neighboring Osage County for a look at Quenemo, a one-time boom town.
