A Museum - Of my Life?

We left the White Cloud Casino area after drives around the area and into St. Joseph Mo.  It was a good stop.  We drove on down to Pat and Jim’s in Olathe Ks. where we became driveway dwellers.  Of course one of the results of visiting folks who have to work for a living is that they often go off to work and we are free to explore on our own.  To this end we struck out and explored.

We saw this great little museum up near Shawnee Ks.  It was the Johnson County Museum.  As you can see from the photos below, it was life and living through the years of settlement and the growth of the suburbs in that area with a focus on the big development years.  On the grounds they had “The 1950s All Electric House.”  A neat little suburban 2 or 3 bedroom brick house once set up to demo all electric living.  So funny.   Now don’t you just hate a museum full of things from your childhood.  Are you really old enough to be in a museum too?  Holy Cow.  How did that happen.
