"About This Blog

Rich Hill is a small town in Bates County, Missouri, known as the "Town That Coal Built." Since 2008, this blog has been digging through old newspapers, county histories, family photos, and community memories to piece together the stories of the people, businesses, churches, and events that shaped Rich Hill — from its coal-mining boom years to the present day. Here you'll find everything from town-defining moments (train depot ambushes, natural gas jubilees, the founding of local churches) to the quieter stories of the people who called Rich Hill home — including a few who went on to leave their mark on the wider world. Have an old photo, a family story, or a correction? I'd love to hear from you — reach out at beardonme@gmail.com

Rich Hill Mining Review March 28,1928

Fine Program Given High School Contestants
The program given at the Opera house Tuesday night by the contestants who will enter the spring at Nevada Friday and Saturday.Was very fine and admirably rendered and greeted by a packed house.The contest will be in music,pubic speaking and dramatics.Rich Hill will have entrees in all of these events.
Sixty Seven High School students will go to Nevada and we confidently believe they will bring home their share of the prize.
