"Buffalo Soldiers" was the nickname given to the African-American members of the 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry Regiments.

The Buffalo Soldier Memorial celebrates the relationship between the local Junction City community and those regiments who were stationed here.  The park and monument are located close to the Buffalo Soldier's old quarters and the current playground is a site where many of their children would've played in the early 20th Century.

This is an awe-inspiring site and a testimony to the long history of cultural diversity in Geary County. 

Make sure you read the many informational plaques, as to learn of the history of the Buffalo Soldiers. BRING YOUR CAMERA...

Buffalo Soldier Park & Memorial is located at the intersection of 18th Street and Buffalo Soldier Drive.
