Summer BLESSINGS to you! Toured OLD PRAIRIE TOWN in Topeka. Took it slow that day and enjoyed the buildings we toured. Think I'll do a SHOUT OUT on the town on Wednesdays for a few weeks instead of showing all those pics on one post.
It was so hot that day that at the end of the tour...you are given a complimentary GREEN RIVER drink...and I must say...it hit the spot! It was sooooo good I had another one for the road.
I hadn't ever had a Green River. Have you? My hubby said he'd had one when he was a boy. The nice lady that fixed our drinks said Prairie Town sells the syrup and had others buy gallons of it to take with them to another state. They were presently out, so I'll have to return another time and treat myself. I didn't get to look the Gift Shop over very well because our tour had started. Will shop abit when I return.
Mabel begins the tour after ticket purchase. She was so pleasant and well informed that she was willing not to rush us.
Had a great time and I'd take the tour again if I could. Unlike Cowtown in Wichita, you can't just walk about in the inside of the buildings. The places are locked until the tour guide lets you in.
Will start with the 1870 Ward-Meade Mansion on the grounds. Beautiful gardens.
Happy Summer to you!

Oh my that is a refreshing place to visit during hot weather - makes me long for quieter simpler times.
Marmie,
I wonder, do they allow photo shoots on the grounds? Neat place. I can not wait to go and see all of these treasures.
Mucho love-o!

Dd,
I love the Ward-Meade mansion, and the grounds with the stone bard and railroad station will suit me just fine. :) Like you, I could just move in.
It was a nice tour and a wonderful place to visit.

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! What a wonderful house-thank you for sharing the pics with us all-I love touring historic homes:)! What flavor is the green drink? It looks yummy!

Bard.... duh... I meant BARN!
Just washed my hands and can't do a thing with them!

Kim, It's hard for me to describe the flavor of green river...better than lime koolade...refreshing and satisfying when I'm drinking it after being dreaded HOT!
