I have some more photos of the trip to Kansas in 1923. I also did some research about Lucas,KS and found out the town has expanded the places for visitors to come. They now have a Grass Roots Art Center that features lots of folk art by people that live in the area or the state of Kansas.  The town is very small, only 354 people. They get thousands of visitors every year to see "The Garden of Eden" and now the Grass Roots Center too.  You can find their web site to learn more about what they have there.

Here are photos from an album I got that belonged to a lady in Buffalo who went to Kansas in 1923. She visited relatives in several small towns and I have always loved these pictures. Some are special inspiration for art work.

This past week, we had an artic blast with wind,snow and temps below zero!  I took pictures from my window of some of effects of the snow.
