My favorite is the ruler.

Happy Trails Buckskin Joe (Part 4)

One feature of every western town is the boot hill graveyard. The dark humor of frontier life is reflected on the epitaphs written on the grave markers. Most ghost towns have taken the humor to a new level and Buckskin Joe is no exception. Several of these remind me of those seen at the Haunted Mansion or on Tom Sawyer's Island.

Happy Trails Buckskin Joe (Part 3)

When I was driving to Buckskin Joe Frontier Town, I was hoping they had cleaned out their back rooms and had old souvenirs for sale. I was in luck as all the vintage images were purchased as souvenir slides as well as a single viewmaster reel and some other items such as a ruler. Today some more vintage slides and then images from today. The park is scheduled to close this Sunday September 12th.
