The handprints outside the museum are 4 munchkins - Karl Slover, Margaret Pellegrini, Ruth Duccini, and Jerry Maren. So honored to have met all 4 before they passed away. The munchkins got no credit until the 1990s when Oz festivals started inviting them. Such incredible people with amazing stories! Check out Memories of a Munchkin by Meinhardt Raabe. He was the coroner, first Buster Brown, and first to drive the Weiner mobile!
So I always heard tales that a bunch of the munchkin actors grouped up and made a little community near Santa Barbara, CA with houses built more for little people height. Not sure how true that tale was. It's one of those "it was a private community not open to outsiders." Which idk, sounds like a likely description of something that might not exist. But who knows. Figured someone here might validate or discredit the rumor or tale I was told by multiple adults as I grew up in the Hollywood area. (maybe a little of both since it's a TH-cam comment section)
I remember in walmego there used to be an old Dutch windmill at the park and a walmego museum that showcased a few models my great grandfather built from scratch oh and in Manhattan the next city over they had a muffler man that looked like Paul Bunyan. Don't know if all that's still there. Miss Kansas
@@SOUPENE Live in Wamego presently and I can attest that the Windmill is still there. Took some wind damage a few years back but they got it repaired very quick. Want to say Bunyan caused some stir over in Manhattan a while back but I can't remember what it was. Think they were trying to get the story straight or were repainting him. The area between Wamego and Manhattan has changed A LOT in the last ten or fifteen years. Lots of growth and more coming with the opening of NBAF and more industries related to it coming in.
Excellent effort, Adam. Sometimes, less is more. No walk and talk. No Disney talk. No Ra,pa Bay Rays talk. No weight loss struggles talk. Just a very well done and gentle video about small Kansas towns. Your grade: A+
Adam, We've come full circle my friend. The first video I saw of yours was your visit to the old Joyland that is now long gone. Now you have travelled my own Kansas stomping grounds! That storm that you see just went through my town and destroyed my home. We have a long road ahead, but seeing your video tonight has really cheered me up immensely. Thanks for always being here for me and the hubby during hard times and good.
Adam Thank you for coming to the town that I call home. I now this town well. The Quantrill Raid and a lot of history in my town. Thank yo for stopping by.
Adam!!!! My hometown is Larned!!!! My relatives lived in Pawnee Rock, too!! I am so excited you were there!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤❤❤
those teepees were cool, my friend MishaLea went to the Oz museum, she lives in Kansas, she's a veteran, along with her hubby, thanks for sharing the museum
I do love these lost/small town videos. What stood out to me on this one most was the art. Good, bad, bizarre, that's what art is all about, making you have an opinion on it. And that Oz museum (and subsequently finding the house!)was amazing! I didn't have the highest expectations for it, and it seemed like a great place to stop for any Oz fan 💚
I'm wilding out that you visited The Oz Museum in Wamego. My family and I were coming back from a trip to Texas in 2019 and stopped there on the way back. It's out of the way, but it's really good!
Wow, my dad grew up in Holyrood (pronounced "Holly-rude"), and I spent time in my childhood there, so it was a total surprise seeing it randomly pop up in a youtube video! It's sad to see these small towns so boarded up but also great to see the ones that are staying alive. Thanks for sharing, Adam
I'm from Holyrood too! I grew up there in the 80s. Seeing it again brought tears to my eyes. Great times were had growing up there with all my friends. There were more stores and things back then. LOL
Four years ago, I was in that same Oz museum! It was on a trip home to Missouri, and didn’t even know this place existed! One of my all time favorite movies, and it was so good to see and read the history! Thanks for bringing back memories!
Wow, Adam! The last portion of your vlog-when you went through Midway. It was like one of those science fiction and suddenly everyone was gone movies. That town was spooky! There was nothing! No parked cars, nobody crossing the road or walking the sidewalk. "And then there were none.." 😱paging Agatha Christie! Nice one. Enjoy! Be careful too.
Love the OZ tour, One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made....Sad when you see what was, and now gone in time; You wonder where did all these people moved to? those small towns had a lot of love and closeness within the communities; Good Memories. & Summer Tours...☕☕
Seeing you travel through these small towns I just marvel how much alike they all are. Seeing you pass through Hollyrood I immediately think of you passing through Commerce and Quapaw Oklahoma. Marvelous to see them all still standing.
I've been to that museum in Wamego!!! my mom and I made a detour there while on a big road trip last year. I've been obsessed with the Wizard of Oz since I was three years old. finally getting to see the museum was one of the most magical experiences I've ever had.
My brother was in the army, stationed at Junction city, believe it was, just south of Lawrence i think. Anyway close to it!! I love to hear the summer music sounds,birds singing, bugs chirring-locusts, grasshoppers, katydids,crickets! I love the old brick roads!!
I shall and I did join you on your adventure through the coll looking places in Kansas, my friend Adam. The wizard of Oz has got to be one of the top favorite in my list of all time greatest movies & musicals of all time. I love Judy Garland. It had a nice cast of good actors & actresses of that time in Hollywood. Dorothy and Toto being my favorite characters in that film along with the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. I got to go to that museum in person and enjoy all the memories of that iconic film. Thanks again, Adam the Woo! You're great!! 🙏🏼
I love Wamego! Such a cool little town. Was lucky enough to go a couple years ago. The people couldn’t of been nicer. Keep up the awesome adventures Adam! Safe Travels!
I wish we had more quirky stuff in the UK ❤ Adam you and some of your youtube buddies have really made me see the USA in a different way. I have fallen in love with your country. ❤from UK 🇬🇧
Hah! My boss sent me the video and I wasn't sure why until the "I'm Melting" sign. I work there and maintain what goes up. The time after the 4th of July/Boomtown Fireworks holiday until about the start of school is pretty uneventful so I tend to go between this or "Now Showing, Summer Part 2, The Sweltering." Melting gets more attention from tourists when they come in so I've gone with it more over the years. Maybe I should put it up also for Oztoberfest in the fall. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for coming through town! Couple answers for questions I heard while you were in Wamego: --The Totos are part of a project started a few years ago that gave out 15 or 16 statues to various artists and are scattered throughout town. The "orignal" Toto sits across the street from my sign in the little park. Originally it was supposed to have a Ruby Slipper in it's mouth but the Kansas weather never cooperated. --The Eagle statue you saw after being at the Oz Museum is on top of the Columbian theatre and Art Gallery. Run by the same organization that oversees the museum they put on several community plays/musicals throughout the year. I haven't been in there for some time but they also had artifacts from the 1892 World's Fair where L. Frank Baum got the idea for the Emerald City. If you are ever back through and they are open I'd recommend a stop. --The house with the witches legs used to be called the Chrysler house since it was supposed to have been the childhood home of Walter Chrysler (the man pictured in the front door). It was in town nearer to the river before it was moved out there with the intention of being a visitor's center or something similar (depends on whom you ask). Never have been 100% sure why it never got finished but it works as is.
Great video, some different that visiting Disney in California and Orlando. The peace and quiet of those small towns and what was once was. I grew up in a small town, and when I visit it now, so little retail is left. The movie theater is now an antique shop and the town once had 2 super markets, car dealer, and now just convenience store/gas station and the ever present Dollar General. I visited the Wizard of Oz museum once while traveling on business and bought a brick painted yellow. Nothing like carrying a heavy yellow brick on a plane, but I have it on display in my living room.
I live in a small town about 30 minutes from truckhenge and never heard of it. I was born and have lived most of my life here. The only tornado I was involved in was when I was leaving Nashville, TN at the airport. They closed it down and when I was flying out the next day I could see buildings that were blown down! Nice video Adam! I'm glad I found it. I hope you'll come back and do some more!
This was so cool... such diverse places. Thanks for taking us with you, Adam... ***Soon you'll be quoting, 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!'
I lived in Topeka KS from 2001 til 2010 and used to go to Wamego every yr. The Surviving Munckins would come to an OZ meet and greet each year. Now they are all passed away.
Adam, what a awesome and cool video and I really enjoyed it! Again, thank you for taking me along with you on your travels! Love those little towns with the old buildings and especially The Wizard of Oz museum and the cool old farmhouse! Love those old signs too! Looking forward to your next awesome vlog! I had a pipping hot caffeinated beverage in the wee hours of the morning this morning.
It's so cool to see all these old school roadside attractions. Especially for me because due to anxiety issues I can't drive so with the train or planes, I never get a chance to see stuff like this.
Absolutely love when you do vlogs like this one. Truckhenge was awesome! Since I'm not the biggest Oz fan, i probably wouldnt have stopped at that museum, but it was pretty cool. Glad I got to see it and the other Oz stuff you featured. 😊
Fun Facts: I recently read The Wizard of Oz. Its similar to the movie. Theyre were no ruby slippers, they were silver shoes! I read it and then read it again! Lots of different things in the movie than the book.
Love videos like this of old towns that people just up and left everything as it was.It's amazing to think how people live back then with no big box stores.
My wife and I did this museum about ten years ago on a side trip when traveling to Topeka. Such a cool little museum out in the middle of absolutely nowhere!
hello again Adam , another interesting explore around cool places on the back roads , enjoyed the Oz Museum that was real cool , really well done and thank you for this 😊
Oh, I looked up to be sure but I think that town name refers to the holy cross...the word "rood" is a crucifix or cross. Don't think it has anything to do with holly! Thanks again for the video.
Dang! I live right across the street from the wishing bench! Wish I would've known you were stopping by my neighborhood! Hope you had a good time in Lawrence.
You should swing by the Outhouse next time you're in the area. It was an infamous punk rock club, in the middle of a corn field, which is now a strip club, where tons of bands played back in the day (Nirvana, Green Day, Fugazi, etc).
Also, (sorry, haha) James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, is buried here. You could also stop by Allen Fieldhouse (home of the Jayhawks) and see a document of the original rules of the game.
Love my Daily WOO fix each morning!! AND in my home state!! ❤ Some of that live in KS haven't even seen these little towns! Thank you for your vlogs! 🙋🏽♀️❤️🌻
I love my sleepy dusty western Kansas home. Wouldn't live anywhere else. I've lived in Montana and Colorado for most of my life and people are real here.
Thanks for the scenic tour of the backroads of Kansas quite nice just wish there was some sort of activity out there with people also the Oz Museum was a very nice place to visit well all and all it was a fun day hanging out with you now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next awesome Adam the daily woo adventure peace ☮️ out ✌️
Adam, I'm so glad you drive around and take us to all these different and unique places that most of us can't get to. Personally, I'm not keen on the baseball games but I still watch them because you took the time to record it.
Good morning Adam the woo ☺️🌅 i been to Kansas years ago in the 90s with my family about 1994 it was hot 🥵 but was fun, we also went to Colorado Denver and Boulder, we were in the location that Mork and Mindy was film at. I saw the football stadium it looks like a college stadium. Thanks for sharing Adam. The back roads of Kansas 😊
I wish we could have connected while through KC and Lawrence areas. Big fan. If still around KC or passing back through, gimme a shout! Oz museum is awesome!
We have the smaller Judy Garland museum up north in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the ruby slippers were infamously stolen. There’s still a horse carriage that was used in the film, among other Judy Garland items. It’s nearby Hibbing, which is Bob Dylan’s hometown (and allegedly, you can get a tour of his home if you ask the owner) and Duluth, of course. Might need to head north when you do Target Field in the future!
Classic Adam the Woo video. I love it. When your at a place like this especially out in the middle of nowhere, do you sit and think about where your at or think about how they started a place like that truck henge thing and how many people been through it? When I traveled in the past I'd be out in the middle of nowhere and think about where I was just a day or so ago and the miles I put in etc. Sadly I won't be able to travel ever again it's a very hard personal story it's hard for me to talk about but I'm sick. I've been fan of yours for years now and thankfully I've been able to live through you and enjoy your travels. Thank you
I'm sorry to hear that your travels for now are curtailed, Oscar. One day you will travel again--and it will be awesome. In the meantime, take care friend ♥
It is sad when we get to a point that we can't do as much as we used to. I hope your health improves. And I hope your memories of your adventures give you joy.
Adam I know this is late so you might not see it but there’s another Wizard of Oz museum in Liberal Kansas. I went there as a kid. They have an annual festival there. There’s a yellow brick road and a bunch of props that were in the movie including the model of the family’s house that was used for the tornado scene. If you’re going that way I’d love to see it again as an adult with your spin on it.
Pawnee Rock has a really awesome lookout that was used by travelers on the Santa Fe Trail and also by Native Tribes to look for buffalo herds. My guess is that you probably missed that because it's an incredible view over the valley and I'm sure you would have added that.
The handprints outside the museum are 4 munchkins - Karl Slover, Margaret Pellegrini, Ruth Duccini, and Jerry Maren. So honored to have met all 4 before they passed away. The munchkins got no credit until the 1990s when Oz festivals started inviting them. Such incredible people with amazing stories! Check out Memories of a Munchkin by Meinhardt Raabe. He was the coroner, first Buster Brown, and first to drive the Weiner mobile!
~~ WaaaY Cool! 😜🌟🌟
Rest In Peace 🙏
There is a munchkin Laid to rest in Portland Oregon also
Harry Earles was my fav, also in Freaks (1932).
So I always heard tales that a bunch of the munchkin actors grouped up and made a little community near Santa Barbara, CA with houses built more for little people height. Not sure how true that tale was. It's one of those "it was a private community not open to outsiders." Which idk, sounds like a likely description of something that might not exist. But who knows.

I’m from Kansas, Adam… I was so happy you were here! Thank you for visiting and being kind!❤
Thank you for giving Kansas some attention.
No problem
I remember in walmego there used to be an old Dutch windmill at the park and a walmego museum that showcased a few models my great grandfather built from scratch oh and in Manhattan the next city over they had a muffler man that looked like Paul Bunyan. Don't know if all that's still there. Miss Kansas

Are staying for 3 days in Kansas Adam.
Adam, I love how you gently take us through these old towns. You have a great eye for detail and your calm demeanor is a joy to start my day.. thanks
Agree & well said
I absolutely agree!
really relaxing to watch and listen
Excellent effort, Adam. Sometimes, less is more. No walk and talk. No Disney talk. No Ra,pa Bay Rays talk. No weight loss struggles talk.
Just a very well done and gentle video about small Kansas towns.
Your grade: A+

These are your best type of videos. Always so enjoyable.
This is your best type of video. Just touring the country using the roads less traveled. Love it!
Keep fascinating your fans Adam! Never boring! The BEST!
Adam Thank you for coming to the town that I call home. I now this town well. The Quantrill Raid and a lot of history in my town. Thank yo for stopping by.
You are living my dream. I'm so glad someone is documenting all the beautiful old towns before they disappear.
Never get tired of small town America. Thanks Adam!
The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie. ATW thank you. I love a lot of your vlogs, but this one was absolute to my most delight. Thank you.
Hey Adam good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl

Was suprised to see it when I past by . Reminded me of Hollywood and made me chuckle
I'm from Holyrood too! I grew up there in the 80s. Seeing it again brought tears to my eyes. Great times were had growing up there with all my friends. There were more stores and things back then. LOL

This! I used to be hooked on that History Channel show, Life After People, and that's what these always bring to mind for me.
Love that farmhouse. It was so quirky. Great vlog Adam x

Man I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan!! I’ve got to get out here sooner rather than later! Awesome video Adam.
Oh man now I have the wizard of oz song stuck in my head !! Thanks to you Adam ... thanks to you :-)
I love Wamego! Such a cool little town. Was lucky enough to go a couple years ago. The people couldn’t of been nicer. Keep up the awesome adventures Adam! Safe Travels!
I wish we had more quirky stuff in the UK ❤ Adam you and some of your youtube buddies have really made me see the USA in a different way. I have fallen in love with your country. ❤from UK 🇬🇧
Ahh but you have way more historical things like huge castles and such, that I would love to see! But I'm feeling like a road trip now!!!
Thanks for sharing😎💜
Really enjoyed the Wizard of Oz museum, and the walk down the yellow brick road!!
Hah! My boss sent me the video and I wasn't sure why until the "I'm Melting" sign. I work there and maintain what goes up. The time after the 4th of July/Boomtown Fireworks holiday until about the start of school is pretty uneventful so I tend to go between this or "Now Showing, Summer Part 2, The Sweltering." Melting gets more attention from tourists when they come in so I've gone with it more over the years. Maybe I should put it up also for Oztoberfest in the fall. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for coming through town!
Couple answers for questions I heard while you were in Wamego:
--The Totos are part of a project started a few years ago that gave out 15 or 16 statues to various artists and are scattered throughout town. The "orignal" Toto sits across the street from my sign in the little park. Originally it was supposed to have a Ruby Slipper in it's mouth but the Kansas weather never cooperated.
--The Eagle statue you saw after being at the Oz Museum is on top of the Columbian theatre and Art Gallery. Run by the same organization that oversees the museum they put on several community plays/musicals throughout the year. I haven't been in there for some time but they also had artifacts from the 1892 World's Fair where L. Frank Baum got the idea for the Emerald City. If you are ever back through and they are open I'd recommend a stop.
--The house with the witches legs used to be called the Chrysler house since it was supposed to have been the childhood home of Walter Chrysler (the man pictured in the front door). It was in town nearer to the river before it was moved out there with the intention of being a visitor's center or something similar (depends on whom you ask). Never have been 100% sure why it never got finished but it works as is.
Thanks for the insights!
Great video, some different that visiting Disney in California and Orlando. The peace and quiet of those small towns and what was once was. I grew up in a small town, and when I visit it now, so little retail is left. The movie theater is now an antique shop and the town once had 2 super markets, car dealer, and now just convenience store/gas station and the ever present Dollar General.
I visited the Wizard of Oz museum once while traveling on business and bought a brick painted yellow. Nothing like carrying a heavy yellow brick on a plane, but I have it on display in my living room.
Thanks Adam! These little towns remind me of our vacations going from Chicago to California. I loved these towns.
I live in a small town about 30 minutes from truckhenge and never heard of it.
I was born and have lived most of my life here.
The only tornado I was involved in was when I was leaving Nashville, TN at the airport. They closed it down and when I was flying out the next day I could see buildings that were blown down!
Nice video Adam! I'm glad I found it. I hope you'll come back and do some more!
Thank You Adam for sharing this video. Really cool museum.😊
This was so cool... such diverse places. Thanks for taking us with you, Adam... ***Soon you'll be quoting, 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!'
I lived in Topeka KS from 2001 til 2010 and used to go to Wamego every yr. The Surviving Munckins would come to an OZ meet and greet each year. Now they are all passed away.
Adam watch out for any children of the corn standing by road as you drive by🙀🙀🙀🌽
Thought the same thing
Thank you for the tour of The Wizard Of Oz Museum. I've been a fan since I was little. The museum was awesome. Love watching your vlogs.
Were you reminded of The Great Movie Ride being there? Wow! Cool place!
Yes
Wizard Of Oz is seriously my favourite movie of all time I watch it all the time so this was so awesome to see the museum thank you so much Adam 😊
Awesome adventure and no Tornado 🌪️ that’s a win
We love Americana!! Thank you Adam!!
great video Adam, I love these travel videos !!
Adam, what a awesome and cool video and I really enjoyed it! Again, thank you for taking me along with you on your travels! Love those little towns with the old buildings and especially The Wizard of Oz museum and the cool old farmhouse! Love those old signs too! Looking forward to your next awesome vlog!

That museum was terrific. Thanks.
Quite an OZ Museum!! Thanks for the video
Absolutely love when you do vlogs like this one. Truckhenge was awesome! Since I'm not the biggest Oz fan, i probably wouldnt have stopped at that museum, but it was pretty cool. Glad I got to see it and the other Oz stuff you featured. 😊
The RC cola sign was amazing. Even faded I still love it.
Ahhhh!!! Lawrence, KS - home of my alma mater. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!
There is a field north of Lawrence where they grow sunflowers. The farmer opens it up to visitors. If is quite the site
Thank you for the Oz Museum tour!! The movie came out once a year when I was a kid 📺Watched every single year.
Fun Facts: I recently read The Wizard of Oz. Its similar to the movie. Theyre were no ruby slippers, they were silver shoes! I read it and then read it again! Lots of different things in the movie than the book.
Flying monkeys have always been my biggest fear!!! All I saw was your thumbnail and I got the chills lol.
Wamego!!!! Was at museum few years ago. Love the WOO - Wizard of Oz and Adam 😂
Welcome to Kansas Adam
Love videos like this of old towns that people just up and left everything as it was.It's amazing to think how people live back then with no big box stores.
I love the Wizard of Oz museum! My aunt’s hometown. There’s a delicious diner there too.
My wife and I did this museum about ten years ago on a side trip when traveling to Topeka. Such a cool little museum out in the middle of absolutely nowhere!
Adam finds the most interesting places. It's so awesome 👍
hello again Adam , another interesting explore around cool places on the back roads , enjoyed the Oz Museum that was real cool , really well done and thank you for this 😊
Legendary barbecue ! Hosted the best NFL draft I have ever seen. Really enjoyed the outdoor venue and th energy of the fans.
My dog is named Toto! The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie! Thank you for this video!
Thanks Adam! I have no intentions or plans to head that way, but it is always great to see new things!
Oh, I looked up to be sure but I think that town name refers to the holy cross...the word "rood" is a crucifix or cross. Don't think it has anything to do with holly! Thanks again for the video.
Dang! I live right across the street from the wishing bench! Wish I would've known you were stopping by my neighborhood! Hope you had a good time in Lawrence.

Good video. The yellow brick road is gold 💛 what the story really means and is about is a good story itself
Amazing Wizard of Oz museum. Truck Henge is also unique.
The memorabilia in the trees and all around that area reminds me of what happens when tornadoes go through.
Lol....love the farmhouse on the legs..lol.😊p.s. my father is from Herington, Kansas.
Loved this. I loved that museum! Such a classic! Those little towns you drove through are so cool! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
Yeas, I'm going to visit 🎉🎉

You can not imagine how delighted I was to see you explore this area 😍 I’m from Wamego!

Adam, I'm so glad you drive around and take us to all these different and unique places that most of us can't get to. Personally, I'm not keen on the baseball games but I still watch them because you took the time to record it.
Thank you for the ride at these out of the way towns. Nice vibes! ❤
I love the videos with out baseball, Disney and **cons, just the real world, some of your best even if they don't get as many views, we all love them.
It's a good thing you found the balloon 🎈 to transport you back to Kansas! 😀
I learn so much from you I love your videos and history stay safe out there woo
That brown building in that last town you went to reminded me of a plain Mortem Manor at Old Town!!
Good morning Adam the woo ☺️🌅 i been to Kansas years ago in the 90s with my family about 1994 it was hot 🥵 but was fun, we also went to Colorado Denver and Boulder, we were in the location that Mork and Mindy was film at. I saw the football stadium it looks like a college stadium. Thanks for sharing Adam. The back roads of Kansas 😊
I wish we could have connected while through KC and Lawrence areas. Big fan. If still around KC or passing back through, gimme a shout! Oz museum is awesome!
Lawrence!!! I graduated from KU and love that town so much. Lucky Adam!!
We have the smaller Judy Garland museum up north in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the ruby slippers were infamously stolen. There’s still a horse carriage that was used in the film, among other Judy Garland items. It’s nearby Hibbing, which is Bob Dylan’s hometown (and allegedly, you can get a tour of his home if you ask the owner) and Duluth, of course. Might need to head north when you do Target Field in the future!
Classic Adam the Woo video. I love it. When your at a place like this especially out in the middle of nowhere, do you sit and think about where your at or think about how they started a place like that truck henge thing and how many people been through it? When I traveled in the past I'd be out in the middle of nowhere and think about where I was just a day or so ago and the miles I put in etc. Sadly I won't be able to travel ever again it's a very hard personal story it's hard for me to talk about but I'm sick. I've been fan of yours for years now and thankfully I've been able to live through you and enjoy your travels. Thank you
I'm sorry to hear that your travels for now are curtailed, Oscar. One day you will travel again--and it will be awesome. In the meantime, take care friend ♥
It is sad when we get to a point that we can't do as much as we used to. I hope your health improves. And I hope your memories of your adventures give you joy.
@@laurag9203 Thanks to both of you. Sadly my kind of ill won't get better.
Adam I know this is late so you might not see it but there’s another Wizard of Oz museum in Liberal Kansas. I went there as a kid. They have an annual festival there. There’s a yellow brick road and a bunch of props that were in the movie including the model of the family’s house that was used for the tornado scene. If you’re going that way I’d love to see it again as an adult with your spin on it.
Pawnee Rock has a really awesome lookout that was used by travelers on the Santa Fe Trail and also by Native Tribes to look for buffalo herds. My guess is that you probably missed that because it's an incredible view over the valley and I'm sure you would have added that.
Baseball and Bizarre attractions. My favorites!
