Last Saturday, a throng converged at the Swope Interpretive Center in Kansas City for a Civil War reenactment and the grand opening of an upgraded exhibit on the Battle of Westport. An MHC grant supported the refurbishing. Days and days of hard work went into the program and the exhibit, so hats off to Dan and Alana Smith, museum consultant extraorinaire, Alisha Cole, and her husband, Mel. The photo at right was taken by Michelle Martin, part of a beautiful setof pictures at her outstanding web site. There's another photo set at Winding River (see our sidebar at left about wingingriver.com). Alisha Cole was on hand for the day's events, and we've got her story and more pictures on the next page.Tuesday, October 28, 2008
