The National Teachers Hall of Fame is located in Emporia. Part of the Hall of Fame includes a museum. In the museum are many displays related to education. This display is a collection of detailed dioramas depicting different types of school class rooms. My father, W.G. Samuelson, built most of these displays that you will see in the museum.
Early pioneers who founded the town knew they would need water. Emporia is located between two rivers. The Neosho and the Cottonwood. This is the Cottonwood river near Soden's Grove. There once was a mill here. The mill is gone now but a nice park is along the river.
The natural history museum has hundreds of species of birds on display that are native to this area. It is a good place to learn how to identify different kinds of birds. It was a place I went to often as a boy. If you are in Emporia with time on your hands this museum is free.
I grew up in this town. The hatches on this tank are welded shut but when I was a boy they were not. My father, brother, and I would climb inside the tank and my father would explain how every thing worked to us. The old tank is at Soden's Grove now.
The city pool near Peter Pan Park will be replaced in a year or two by the waterpark that is being built. It is a nice place to swim and there are lovely life guards there who let me go inside the fence to take this picture.

A: "It seems to me that "semi-truck parking" and "bar" should not cross each other on the same sign."
