Reply #6: The whole City is historic [View All]

[Wickerman]

There are a wonderful series of cisterns that were artfully conceived and maintained. High towers that pumped water for what was the bustling gateway to the West.

There is a restored train depot that has some great architecture. If you stand in one corner of it you can carry on a conversation at a normal voice and the acoustics of the room will carry that conversation across the room to another spot where you can be heard perfectly, even when the room is jammed with people.

The arch.

Some other stuff that slips my mind. I was there several times as a kid, mainly passing through. Was there for a 5 day conference a couple of years ago and it was a fun town. Mercantile/cattle town that fought with Chicago for stockyards supremacy at the turn of the century. It became, actually, just a way station.
