Con and I left Carbondale on Tuesday and headed to Harrisburg. While in Harrisburg, Con traveled with my to various places in town. I wanted to take him to the Garden of the Gods but decided not to because of all the flooding nearby. Instead, I took Con to the Saline Creek Pioneer Village and Poor House Museum. This site contains a gathering of buildings around the original "Pauper House", or poor farm of 1877. The building has been converted into exhibit rooms and a museum. On the 3.5 acre site are other buildings, some containing collections of items such as tools. I remember when I was in grade school, we took a field trip to this area and it was a really neat experience. I took the picture of Con on the Sahara Coal Wagon at the museum site. This strip mine contains a lot of Saline County History.
