If you are an admirer of antiques and collectibles and want to grab your hand on commemorative spoons for the 100th anniversary of John Brown Memorial Park, you have just gone lucky. These spoons can be purchased at the Osawatomie History Museum, 628 Main St., or at John Brown Memorial Park and Museum, 10th and Main streets.
President Theodore Roosevelt and about 30,000 people were on hand for celebrating the opening of this park in the year 1910.
From graphic-online.com:
Ted Hunter said the Osawatomie Tourism Committee wanted to do something to commemorate a special time in history.
“It’s one of those keepsakes people can hang on to for a long time,” he said.
The spoons are available for $10; all proceeds will go to the committee.
Collectors or residents can purchase the spoons at the Osawatomie History Museum, 628 Main St., or at John Brown Memorial Park and Museum, 10th and Main streets.
Grady Atwater, curator of the John Brown Museum and administrator of John Brown State Historic Site, said a 1910 commemorative spoon featuring an engraving of Adair Cabin is on display at John Brown Museum — adding he hopes the new spoon will be in a museum 100 years from now.
An illustration is featured on top of the spoons and there are words referring to the site of the August 1856 Battle of Osawatomie at the bottom.
