Howdy y'all! Do you know what telephones, carousels, and cabins have in common? I got to visit a place recently that had all three and more. Thought I'd share some fun pics from my visit to the Dickinson Co Museum in Abilene, Kansas.
There was a switchboard you could fiddle with, plus an old phone booth.
For $2 you can ride a steam-powered carousel built back at the turn of the 20th century.
I chose to ride one of the horses. Notice, there's no poles, only stirrups and reins to help you hold on. And they rocked! Literally. Just a like the gait of a real horse. So cool.
You could also wander through an old log cabin, complete with wood stove, dry sink, and even a washing machine. (That's what I'm sitting beside on the porch.)
One last thing we toured was a barn full of old stuff.
All in all, the hour or so spent at the museum was well worth it.
What was the last museum you toured?
Hey y'all! I'm over on Stitches Thru Time today sharing some of the fun photos of my trip to Yellowstone National Park. Would love to have you drop by.
