Hand-made wooden model of the "White Queen." It was found in the bottom of Kathy's old camel-back trunk. I imagine it was made by her brother Wally. It features a steering wheel, anchor and prop. The details, such as the gas cap and engine cover handles are amazing. - DSC00241

A corn husk hat made for the occasion! When we were in Muscotah, the couple we spoke to had a photo of a woman in a corn husk dress. - DSC01097

We went to the Atchison museum in search of John Reisner's hotel. Instead, we found this interesting exhibit of corn husk memorabilia. "Between 1895 and 1912 Atchison hosted seven large harvest festivals known as the Corn Carnivals. These huge celebrations lasted from one to three days and drew visitors from across the nation. This event soon gained Atchison an international reputation." - DSC01101

Atchison, KS. We were looking for John Reisner's three story log hotel on the river. A guy at the museum thought this one was log, but the owner showed us around and it clearly was not John's. Nevertheless, this hotel was right on the Missouri River and had a great view. - DSC01105
