Judy Garland's Childhood Home. A charming white two-story house with a front balcony and small yard, nestled under a partly cloudy sky.
Years ago, I visited Dorthy's House and The Wizard of Oz museum in Liberal, Kansas, and it only seemed right to swing into the main character's childhood home.
A charming brown building marked by a sign that warmly welcomes visitors to the Cass County Museum. Nestled among lush grass, intriguing outdoor exhibits, and towering trees, it offers a glimpse into the rich history of Cass County.
A wonderfully organized and well-documented museum in the town of Walker was well worth a couple of hours of exploring before I headed out of town.
A small stone castle with two round towers and a bright red entrance stands proudly like a museum nestled among tall trees in Minnesota. The foreground features a cracked asphalt parking lot with a wheelchair accessible space, benches flanking the entrance, and several trash bins to the right.
There is so much to learn about mining in the United States, and this was an excellent place to start, especially with all of the big heavy equipment they had to explore.
Signage for the Akeley Paul Bunyan Museum, including a visitor information notice, is displayed on a brown building with green shrubs and a grassy area in the foreground.
The giant pole bunion by the side of the road caught my eye a few days before, so I returned to check out the giant and to see what was in the museum.
Front view of the Plainview Klowndoll Museum, a white building with red accents, decorated with colorful clown illustrations and balloons. A sign offers free admission.
This is one of the funniest and craziest places I've visited, with a collection of over 8,000 clowns. It is definitely an unexpected treat in Nebraska.
A small, single-story building with an exterior made of sod bricks, a shingle roof, and a visible metal chimney standing on a grassy area with a blue sky in the background.
Driving through the town of Dighton Kansas, I see a sod house. I had to stop and snap a picture.
The Last Chance Store is a historic stone house with a gabled roof surrounded by lush greenery. A stone walkway leads to the entrance, and a red brick path is visible in the foreground. A greenhouse in the background sits under a partly cloudy blue sky, with trees providing shade around the scene.
Unfortunately, the store was locked up, and I couldn't get inside, but at least the windows weren't too bad, and I could see inside. Maybe it'll be open next time.
A historic stone house with a wooden porch and white columns sits surrounded by lush greenery. An American flag and a state flag wave on a flagpole to the left, marking it as an important state historic site. A detached garage is visible under the partly cloudy Kansas sky; white chairs line the porch.
No matter how many times I wander into a historical site dealing with Native Americans, I am continually disappointed at how so-called Christian Europeans treated them.
A row of old Western-style storefronts and businesses with a wooden sidewalk at Boot Hill Museum, under a partly cloudy sky, with a grassy area and a concrete pathway in the foreground.
Enroute to Wichita, I had to make a stop in Dodge City. While I've been to the Boot Hill Museum a few times, it's still fun to take a step back in time and see what's new.

I spent a few hours wandering this amazing national Park service. Reconstruction was very educational and fascinating. Absolutely worth the visit.
