Road Trip!!!!

Our next stop, Greenburg, Kansas. They had a 2 for 1 in Greenburg. The World's Largest Pallasite Meteorite...

 

...and a "Big Well."

 

It was actually the World's Largest Hand-Dug Well. It was very impressive. I can't imagine digging anything that big by hand.

 

Here are the stats. Began in 1887. Cost: $45,000. Completed in 1888. 109 ft. deep and32 ft. in diameter.

 

When we were passing through Mullinville, we happened upon these sculptures. They're the "Sculptures Blown by the Winds of Politics."

 

There were hundreds of them. They didn't seem to lean toward one political affiliation or another.

 

Some were a little offensive!

 

Fort Dodge was next. Established in 1865 it was a supply depot and base of operations again warring Plains Tribes. Custer, Sheridan, Miles, Hancock, "Wild Bill" Hickok and "Buffalo Bill" Cody are figures in it's history.

 

They had a few old cannons and artifacts but for the most part it was a community for older veterans.

 

Next to Fort Dodge was Dodge City, Kansas. They had this town set up outside of downtown. The buildings were half re-created and half original. They had LOTS of artifacts in each building.

 

They even had part of the original Boot Hill.
