We saw his boyhood home which had been moved here from Missouri.
We couldn't go upstairs, but got to see the first floor.
They had many Indian headdresses, very interesting.
Read about this war lodge.
They had an actual one there.
They had so many Indian artifacts, most with bead work, and quill work. They took porcupine quills, dyed them and wove them to dress up clothes, shoes, etc. I wondered how they got the beads, so I looked it up, check it out.
Of course I immediately spotted this quilt, when I approached it I found it was made of different furs.
This wagon was interesting, so much equipment hanging from it.
LOVE this stage coach.
This was a chuck wagon. He made beans and we got to taste them. Not your traditional bean recipe, had green peppers, onions, carrots, really good. He also baked some buiscuits. He had hot coals in that pan, a tray on top of the coals with the biscuits, then more hot coals on the cover. They were awesome.
On the way back to the campground we saw more teepees.
Don't you absolutely love this motor home?
Almost went back to buy it!!!!!
The red stage coach is a Concord Coach made in Concord, NH. Many of these coaches were made by the Abbott-Downing Co. on Main St. in Concord & sold to Wells Fargo and other companies out west. They were the most popular western coach of the period. Some of the Abbott-Downing buildings are still here but house modern businesses
