Henry Pratt Tragedy 5th Anniversary

Feb 4, 2024 | Articles & Exhibits

February 15 is a day when we remain faithful to the memories of Trevor Wehner, Vicente Juarez, Russell Beyer, Josh Pinkard and Clayton Parks, all of whom fell victim to the rage of a disgruntled employee at the Henry Pratt Company in 2019. At the center of the television coverage, the impromptu memorials, the songs, the flowers and the childlike drawings by little hands at schoolroom desks were the five white crosses built by the late Greg Zanis of Aurora, and which have been at the historical society ever since. As we do every year, we will have the crosses and various memorabilia on display for the fifth anniversary to honor those lost that day. Exhibit hours are listed below.
