O'Donnell!

The Heritage Museum!
 More apparitions! Or, bad photography...



But is there really such a thing as "bad" photography? I tend to think not...



 I like to photograph the "things not seen"!




This peculiar stop sign was out in the street, in front of the Heritage Museum. We had not seen one of these before, and it must have been an old time small town thing.

Examining O'Donnell

We're taking a close look.



 The Heritage Museum now houses the Dan Blocker collection. It was staffed by a volunteer that day, even though it was Sunday. We were surprised the museum was open.
 The first "apparition"-- is it a hat??


 The grim reaper's implement-- somehow appropriate?

 Entertainment, from the old days...
 No more circus, no more "rodeo grounds"...


I vaguely remember the movie referenced here... odd cast.

O'Donnell

Let's continue with O'Donnell...




There was once a Dan Blocker museum, but it has merged with the municipal museum.








Again, we have the impression of a town that barely manages to survive, a community on the verge of extinction, despite the schools. Can you really expect the best and brightest to try to make a life here?
