Day 2 sees us in Wichita Falls. WF is a city in the county seat of Wichita, Texas, and closer to Fort Worth than San Antonio. There is lots to see and do here and today we spent sometime visiting the Museum of North Texas History. The museum is amazing and takes the traveler through how North Texas was settled and how past wars have effected the area. Following is but a snap shot of what one can see. To see more have a look at https://www.museumofnorthtexashistory.org which provides a great overview of what there is to see.
The Choctaw Native Americans settled the area in the early 18th century from their native Mississippi area once Americans negotiated to relocate them after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.[6] American Settlers arrived in the 1860s to form cattle ranches.
The Civil War,
WW1 and WW11,
Vietnam,
Medals of Honor, Silver Star and Bronze Star,
Pearl Harbor,
Surrender 1945,
Iwo Jima
Diseases that effected the world
Tornadoes,
Bygone past,
Well known local folks who have enriched their community,
Hats and more hats,
Memories of times past. Our mothers had a sunbeam mix master just like these.
To my nursing friends, the cap with the stripes reminds us of times past.
Wouldn't this chap below be pleased to know that it was because of he and his buddies we are free today to enjoy a walk back in time
Tomorrow we are off to Oklahoma City.
Cheers Ross and Bev
