The Cat's Meow Courthouse & Vienna High School
If you'd like to financially support the JCGHS while also owning a unique piece of Johnson County memorbilia, then the Cat's Meow Village Johnson County Courthouse might be just what you're looking for! These are solid wood and make excellent window or mantle additions...and make great gifts for anyone who has an attachment to Johnson County. These are available through any Johnson County Genealogical & Historical Society Board member or through Jennifer at the Vienna Town Square Mall. Get them before they are gone!
If you donate $25 or more, you will receive a Cat's Meow Courthouse as a gift from us. You can also donate $28 to receive the Cat's Meow Vienna High School. If you make a donation of $50 or more, we'll give you a Cat's Meow Figurine of your choice and a hardbound copy of the red 2012 Johnson County Bicentennial Families.
