Well hard to believe this was our last day here. The time has gone by so quickly. Today we went to the Wax Presidential Museum that is across the street from our hotel. It has wax figures of all the presidents. It was a nice museum but I have to say there were only a couple that actually looked like the President it was. I am glad we went.
We had planned to go to a zero gravity house today but it isn’t open on Wednesdays. Had we realized it before today, we would have planned differently but oh well. Instead, we went to a museum here. It used to be the school house. It was built in the 1800s. When it opened, it had 163 students. The last year it operated as a school they had 8 students. It was a beautiful two story building but it need a lot of maintenance work. It still has the school bell in the tower. I got to ring it. It was pretty fun. One interesting fact…..Carrie Ingalls Swanzy, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s sister lived here. The museum had a lot of information on her and several of her things. They also had a lot of pictures of the actors from Little House on the Prairie show.
They have a chainsaw business here. They sculpt logs using a chainsaw. They have a lot of bears and a lot of Bigfoot statues. They are all pretty cool. I found one bear that had the cutest face. He was way out of my budget so I didn’t buy him but if he was cheaper, I would probably have given in and got him. He was pretty cute.
After some pretty busy days, it was nice to have a more relaxed day. The weather has turned and it is pretty chilly out so it feels good to be tucked in.
