There was an informative exhibit about the Pony Express but nothing photogenic. This is what put them out of business, the Telegraph Office.
Carl love little tidbits like this.
He likes steam locomotives too.
Looks like any other mid 19th century school house until you realize that the bookcase in back holds all of the original textbooks and all of the student records.
Pioneer families needed to learn new home construction techniques. Few trees, no rocks or clay for bricks. Sod ( the top dirt layer held together by grass roots) was all that was avail.
This building had a bazillion pieces of china and glassware.
And finally some nostalgia , for those "of a certain age", we have the April 1953 TV schedule.
We'll, the shop closed at 5:00 while Carl was typing, with no further progress on the coach. Perhaps tomorrow.
