Found at the Archives

We have learned many things from our work at the National Archives.  One thing our archivist taught us is that the hand symbol below is called a manicule.  Here are some that I have found recently.  Note the address on the bottom one.  Hard to believe that mail could be delivered with just a name, city and state; no house number, street, or zip code for rural Nebraska.

 

 

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

For my birthday we went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.  It is really awesome, and it is free!  

 

These knights and horse were pretty great too.  The museum even had a booklet to go with this room full of activities for kids.  

   We only saw part of the museum, so will need to make another trip.
