Automobile graveyard in Sedan Kansas. down by the river

 Automobile graveyard located right here in Sedan Kansas.

Amazing what lies under your nose in plain site,

Grandson came home yesterday, hey papa, I found a bunch of old cars in the river behind the gas station, do you want to go see them? Heck yes.

Couldn't believe my eyes there on the bank of the river lies at least 15 old cars, looks like they have been there for years. They are all smashed and rusted beyond repair.

Hard telling how long they have been there.

Cambridge Log Cabin Cowley County Kansas.

Although this is not the original cabin from 1874

It's still pretty darn cool.

As one walks around the site, you will find the rock dugout, 

Moving around the log cabin the back of the log cabin has no windows

The only window is in the front 

next to the front door, which was open there is nothing inside the cabin except 

for a  handmade bed frame made from sticks.

There is a trail in the woods that leads to an out house

also made from logs

Stone houses abandoned in South East Kansas

                                      PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE Living in Sedan Kansas give me the unique opportunity to travel the back roads  of Chautauqua county, and surroundings counties looking for old stone houses that have long been abandon and forgotten.

Most of these old stone structures once was a families home, I can't imagine the toil and hard labor one had to endure to construct and maintain these stone houses.

             

This one sets on a small hill over looking the dirt road below.

there are open meadows to the East across the rd.

while I was there, the whitetail deer were grazing in a pasture several hundred yards from me.

Hi up on the hill this old two story stone house 

is crumbling to the ground. 

The old house looks like it was a small mansion in it's time

there were 2 stories and huge well sets in the yard next to the house

Probably hand dug 

The root cellar was huge, constructed like a half dome

everyone of these rocks were hand picked and hand laid to form 

the cellar Look how huge it was.

these cellars served several purposes, protection from the wicked 

Kansas weather, and a place to keep the canned food from the garden.

I am not sure how the people accessed  this house as it sets on a small hill

with no access road leading to the house.

Enjoy the photographs
