There is now 2 cafes

Where is this place?

Very neat, I wish that I could go there.

"Ausgang" means "Exit".

The first building mentioned used to be a bar, but it closed down since they couldn’t obtain a liquor license. The Elgin State Bank was repurposed as a post office until its closure in the 1970s. Margaret’s Cafe was the only business running downtown when I was there. Local farmers & ranchers used to come by and get a bite to eat at lunchtime. It also served as a school bus stop for the children who went to school in Sedan. The bridge is registered as a landmark. It is the reason why it has not been replaced compared to other bridges in the area. There are several similar bridges in the county which were torn down and replaced with more modern bridges. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Creek_Bridge_(Elgin,_Kansas) Once Elgin lost the railroad and shipment point and Oklahoma was granted its statehood, the town started its death spiral. Margaret’s Cafe and its adjoining museum hundred of pictures showing Elgin’s colorful past. A couple of pictures even showed a lynching from the bridge on the Oklahoma side of border. The Dalton gang and several outlaws used to stay awhile before hiding in the caves west of town or crossing the border into Indian territory. At that time only federal marshals had the authority to follow and arrest these desperados. Elgin had a short oil boom in the early part of the 20th century due to surface oil bubbling up nearby. Elgin used those oil pools to dip cattle for pest & tick removal before shipping them on boxcars to all points in America. Elgin added sulfur to their oil to be compliant with Texas oil standards for dipping. Overproduction dried up most of the surface oil and people started to drift away. I think Elgin may have attempted to become the county seat for Chautauqua county, but they lost out to Sedan in their bid. Elgin built wide brick streets with cement curbs and modern sewage pipes to beautify the town. It nearly bankrupted the town when the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression hit the town and they could not pay bonds.

He grew up there in 50-60’s. Folded newspapers on concrete benches at Depot before delivering from his bike, 20cents a week. Thanks for the tour!!

Just watched video. My husband grew up there. The Opera House as a movie theater when he was young teen. Parents didn’t hv a tv but he slipped off to theater. Saw the movie PICNIC with Kim Novak… he sure likes that movie even now!!!

The old Wann School gym is private property now. The structure next to it was the school building. It was torn down years ago after the school consolidated with others. A new school was built on Highway 10 and 169. There was a plaque on the gym, but it was stolen years ago. Yes the six flag poles over Wann sign needs replaced. But there is no funding. I am from Wann and could give you more history. I'm glad you did a video on it.

I enjoy watching these videos, I’m from Chanute Ks born in Garden City, I have been to Windfield Ks. I have lots of of relatives from western part and heading to a different direction also have relatives. I will be giving you my I can remember when I would spend the night at my Grandparents house out in the country and I would go to their Church and it was old small wood church . I like seeing all the old houses.

@1:01:38 - These Nazi weapons were developed well before the end of WWII. Do some research before putting your lack of knowledge online.

Of interest: the film camera used on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission and then later Moon landings was a Hasselblad 500EL with additional modifications. I own a working model.

@49:01. "Drogue" is pronounced "Droge", not "droge-you".

@28:24: That's Yuri A. Gah-GAHR-En. Emphasis was on the second syllable in his last name. Google it.

@22:53 - You were right the first time, That's Vladimir Lenin, not Nikita Khrushchev.

"Ad astra per aspera" is the state slogan of Kansas.

I've been to the Cosmsphere several time. I used to live in Wichita, and it was a short drive.

Been to CAM many, many times. I lived in that area for nearly 20 years. It's one of my go-to museums when traveling.

Wonder where this is

The CAM is a nice place to visit. If you have a chance, check out the American flight Museum (two buildings over). They operate Spooky- the AC47. The CAM had a split between pilots and regular museum folks a few years ago. Many of the museum people felt that it was too expensive to operate flying aircraft, so those who wanted to fly split into the American flight museum.

What a waste of my time.

The small natural rock buildings on top of the ridges of the hills were built during the WPA (Works Progress Administration 1935 to 1939). They served no real purpose other than lookout points to hike up to. There are hiking trails going up the canyon walls to them. The dam itself was a WPA project as well. The lake was dredged out about 20 years ago since it had silted in badly. It is fed by numerous natural springs coming directly out of the base of the canyon walls from the Ogallala Aquifer. The stucco Boat House at the swimming area has been there at least since the 1940s.

I spent a number of summers at Summer Camp at the Methodist Church Camp at Lake Scott. Great Memories!!!!

I grew up in Logan County and spent MANY weekends at Lake Scott, the Badlands, Little Jerusalem, Butterfield Overland Trail, etc, etc. Many days searching for artifacts, native flint tools, fossils, metal detecting the old US Cavalry camps and taking landscape/wildlife photographs. The soils in that area a heavy with sand and no clay so they wash out easily therefore the "roughness". These videos has brought back a FLOOD of great memories. Thank You!!!

CORRECTION: BUSHONG IS IN LYON COUNTY. I lived there, on Second & Pine for 38 years.

_An awesome video! The scenery is absolutely stunning and the ambience is so relaxing. Thanks for sharing._

that's outstanding trip-

First Air Museum I ever went to. In the early 90s they let you go into the planes as I recall.

Thanks for showing our pretty dam and lake! We live about 2 miles from the campground where you took the video. Actually, I walk our dogs around that campground a few times a week, even in the winter months. As far as the water being let out of the dam, it's actually a rarity when they aren't letting water out. Any rain we get out here usually causes the lake to rise significantly and they will let water out to bring it back to normal levels. Yes, that's a nice campground. You can usually get a camping spot anytime, except for the holiday weekends. I've never seen it full otherwise. Come on out for a weekend and explore the lake! Great video!!

All aboard!

You need one of those fuzzy things for your mic. Interesting walk.

_It's an awesome glimpse into enchanting splendor of marvelous Osage city scenery in Kansas, with clearly explored and incredibly informative narration. Thank you for sharing this wonderful inspiration with us._ _Greeting from Indonesia._ |🇮🇩

The carousel is my favorite part of the aquarium

Not sure of the point of this with all of the mispronunciations and factual errors.

so sad, my mother grew up there...but thank you, it gave me a sense of the past

Hey I hope you are doing well. I came across your TH-cam channel today, and I love your content! Every single video I watched on your channel was extremely valuable, but I couldn't help but notice that you are missing out on a lot of potential viewers and subscribers' faster growth. If you'd like to grow your channel faster, get more views, and subscribers grow your TH-cam channel and monetization. The SEO section must be updated to grow your channel

the bouncing camera made me dizzy couldn't finish it but the subject sounded interesting

Hello there, I analyzed your TH-cam channel and found some problems. If you give permission then I will show you why your video is getting fewer views, likes, and subscribers. your best regards ( Bashir Ahmed )

Hi there, Your video content is very good. But You do not have SEO in your channel. SEO means Search Engin Optimization where title optimize, description optimize and input high rank tags. That is, optimizing the distribution status of a youtube channel is called SEO. Without SEO no channel can rank well. I found issues in your channel No tags Description is too short No rank tags No end screen No share in social media If you need any help please reply me. I will do SEO for your channel so that your chanel can rank. Thank you Akbar Hossain

Camera shakes way to much for me.

I was watching a 1960's Gunsmoke and there was a map on the wall saying Peru Kansas... that's why I'm here !

Be fun to set a small trailer there and just sit for a couple of months.....

Currently living here, sad they replaced the road

That old building was originally the Brunswick Hotel. It was a restaurant when I was a kid.
