  • Minor Park Golf Course, Callaway0829 (guest) wrote 18 years ago:
    Minor Park includes some of the best preserved Santa Fe Trail wagon swales in the entire Midwestern United States. There are a number of parallel wagon swales that cross the northeastern part of the park. A Daughter's of the American Revolution Marker is located in the largest swale which is more than 6 feet deep, 20 feet wide, and more 1,000 feet long. These deep swales were formed as wagons and draft animals, wheels and hooves wet from their recent crossing of the Blue River at a ford about 0.4-mi to the northeast, dug into the soft, easily eroded soils. The bottom of the largest swale has been eroded to bedrock. In 1859, the ford was replaced by a wooden bridge (painted red) and the area has been called "Red Bridge" ever since. Research by the late Harvey Kemper (longtime resident of south Kansas City) indicates that the original "Red Bridge" was built by Col. Todd and his son George Todd who later became a lieutenant in Quantrill's Band.The bridge was painted red and spanned the Big Blue River about 0.25 miles north of the current bridge over the river on Red Bridge Road. The original wood bridge was replaced by an iron bridge in 1892 and the current bridge was built in 1932. In 1833 a trading post was built on the east side of the Big Blue River by Henry Riggs. Shawnee and Osage Indians reportedly traded at this post. This property is now owned by an international children's relief organization and was formerly known as "Red Bridge Farm" and owned by a former mayor of Kansas City, Bryce Smith (1930-1938). Two brothers Isaac and Perry Paxton (related to the Paxton's of Paxton Lumber Company in Kansas City) were murdered along the Trail as they camped near the Red Bridge in 1849. On August 22, 1862, a skirmish between 21 of Quantrell's raiders and the 300 Federals took place at a farmhouse on the David Tate farm several hundred yards south of the Red Bridge. Quantrell escaped with the loss of only two men. The famous Donner Party passed this very spot on their second day out of Independence, Mo on their ill-fated trip to California.

  • Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, KCAI 95-99 (guest) wrote 18 years ago:
    I played many a game of frisbee on what is undoubtedly one of the nicest lawns in American lawnege. "Please don't touch the shuttlecocks" "We can hear you" Trippin out to the shadows on the side wall of the Nelson, I heard one of my friends got a guard to turn off the lights in the Carravaggio room when he was trippin once, now that's a quality museum. The courtyard lunchplace was amazingly beautiful. The little print curators room all hidden away with the velvet lined shelves.

    Peace out from LA, KCAI rocks my socks, lots of great memories, Mo Dickens, Cecelia Johingan, and Ed Rodrigeuz are the shit. What'd up frisbee sundays at the Nelson!!! Printmakers do it much better than anyone else. I am populating the world with my kcai knowledge. I have met many people that have gone to other schools we all thought were the shit, we, kcai alums, are better than they are, lets toot our own horns.
