We went to the Frontier Tribute Trail Museum at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas a couple days ago and it was very interesting. This is where the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails began. It has been an active fort since 1827.
I love this flag and didn't know for sure if the stars had ever really been arranged that way, but, yes, they had!
The displays were very life like. The one on the right is really alive - my DH!
This is the Command and General Staff College.
Behind the stone marker below is the pathway that the wagon trains followed as they came across the Missouri River (behind me). Can you see the indentation?
There are many military graves from various wars
When my DIL and I were getting the Christmas tree out, there was a tree left by the former owners of the house. It is in good shape and is about 10' tall, so she decided to put it up. I saw a box inside the tree box and when I picked it up a partial quilt top fell out. I think they may have used it around the bottom of the tree and it is very old. It's not finished and is an odd shape, but it's hand pieced and the fabrics look very old. She's going to call the realtor (who is the daughter of the owners) to see if they want it. If not, it will be mine.
Any ideas about the fabrics?
