On May 29th, we reported on the beginning of an excavation project at Adair Cabin in Kansas. Today, we learn about the findings from the field school:
- Silver-plated fork with the initials FBA (Florella Adair Brown)
- A penny from 1867
- A trigger guard from a Virginia-style rifle
- Part of a decorated egg cup
- The foundation of the original Adair Cabin (located under the garage that is attached to the farmhouse built in 1904 by the Rev. Samuel Adair’s son, Charles, that still stands.
Evening programs from the public have been ongoing and last week’s Collector’s Night allowed residents to bring in historical objects for expert identification.
