The main auditorium will be 100 years old in 2017. We have more historic buildings on the East side of town. The Musuem is full of old photographs and wonderful memories such as bank robberies and Will Rogers Dad owning a store. We hope you stop by again soon! - Dawn OrwigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-83285067173597851812012-02-15T19:55:34.136-06:002012-02-15T19:55:34.136-06:00What a lovely little "detour".

It's too bad you couldn't go inside, but it looks like it was wonderfully peaceful. <br /><br />Thank you for posting this—next time we're in the area, we'll have to make a detour ourselves!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233479262926672923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-75616373302392203372012-02-15T08:58:25.820-06:002012-02-15T08:58:25.820-06:00I knew the birth place was out there somewhere but...I knew the birth place was out there somewhere but don't recall hearing of anyone visiting it and don't recall seeing any pictures. Thanks for posting some. I think I'll try to work it in the next time I'm in the ares.<br /><br />I may be imagining it but I thought I sensed you struggling to resist a "Ain't nobody here but us chickens" reference. It prompted a search and I found that. although the phrase is much older, Louis Jordan took a song by that name to #1 in 1946. I'll be looking for a copy in case the homestead is closed when I visit.DennyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027558681912733768noreply@blogger.com
