The Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
We were lucky enough to find information on Kelli and Scott's Great Grandfather who was a pitcher in the majors from 1908 to 1915. His roommate was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936 - along with Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Fun to find this information!
Now, this was fun!
The Farm Museum had blacksmiths on duty - showing how to make your own nail-
a flat nail.
Add the head
"Back in the day" a good blacksmith would have made 1500 of these.

Such a funny exhibit at the Farm Museum -
This generated so much public interest and, of course, the media was all over it!!
I guess the author planned this elaborate hoax
to expose how gullible the public was.
Fake News!

Patio at the Art Museum
The Thaw collection of American Indian Art is widely recognized
as one of the most significant in the world.
The special beaded jacket given to the chief's children.
I thought the two color combination quite unusual.
I thought I recognized the Tlingit Indian style and artwork.
This is the tribe that my Grandad was adopted by up in Alaska!
Fun to see these in this prominent collection.
Back to our campground
I asked if I could get a picture, and the campground owner said "no".
Their culture does not want to have their pictures taken.
It is OK if the person is not in it.
Sam (the driver) is the groundskeeper at the campground and he was on his way home.
Interesting how they drive modern equipment at work,
but revert to the old style for their personal use.
