Our wanderings took us to Osawatomie today. We've been doing a lot of Bleeding Kansas discussion here at home, so I was excited to see some John Brown artifacts! The Adair cabin, aka John Brown State Historic Site, did not disappoint. I was a little confused when we pulled into the park and saw a stone building with the words "John Brown Cabin" inscribed on the outside - but the cabin is within the stone walls, perfectly preserved.
I did not get many pics within the cabin. I was busy chasing this guy around...
and his big siblings apparently had an aversion to getting their pictures taken. All the furnishings within the cabin are original to the Adair (John Brown's sister) family. You could even poke your head into the loft. The site is free (although gladly welcomes donations) and the site administrator very welcoming to homeschoolers. After we were done we walked the Battle of Osawatomie which is also located within the park.
Next stop, the historical museum and railroad museum... well, not really... they were closed :( This after I told Shorty we were going to a museum with trains *sigh*. But wait! We heard a train! This momma turned that van around as quick as she could and "raced" to the RR tracks! Success!
We might have missed one train experience, but we made up for it!
Next was lunch at the Whistle Stop Cafe, who's theme was.... trains! They had a train that ran around the ceiling, and tiled floors that looked like tracks!
The service was just great too :) We were able to wander the downtown a bit after our meal, talked a little historic architecture, and then talked to a friendly local who told us "Jesus loves you". What a wonderful day all around <3 br="">
