War Between the
States
Historical
Bus Trip
In
Delaware County
From Stonebrook Inn
Grove, Oklahoma
8 AM - 4 PM
We will be visiting Saline
Courthouse, the last Cherokee district courthouse, where you will be free to
walk around the grounds and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful historical
site. The Beck-Hildebrand Mill, which the Division contributed monies to for
restoration, in 2007, is a scheduled stop. We will also pay a visit to the
Talbot Museum complex, which houses the records of the Beck-Hildebrand Mill and
much more. The group will take lunch [included] at the Mill or Museum,
depending on scheduling. Bring your picnic blankets or lawn chairs!
Step back in history, as we
learn about Fort Wayne and the part it played in the War Between the States. We
will travel through Southwest City,
Missouri, long known as the jumping-off place for the
Indian Territory and a trade
center for Confederate and Union sympathizers, alike.
Near Southwest City, we will
go out onto Cowskin Prairie, driving across miles of the historical prairie
where Stand Watie and Sterling Price encamped and trained their troops. We will
be making a special stop on Cowskin Prairie.
