The Friends Of Historic Dowtown Merriam (FOHDM) is bringing the next generation into several fields of trades and artistry through internships while developing paths forward with the latest technology and artistic visions.
The foundation of the community of Merriam is based in the history of its people who built it by hand and an artistic vision that is present today. Merriam is the last light industrial area in the Kansas City Metro area, and the businesses are working together to preserve the vision of a community where the trades and the arts work hand in glove to build a strong community.
