Downtown Kansas City--it's been a while!! We had bona fide Santa Fe Trail business to conduct and we met Nick Abt, Abt Films, in the historic hotel so that he could make some digitized images of the famous Santa Fe Trail murals in the historic bar. While the hotel has undergone some extensive renovations, the room with the Edward Holslag artwork and Harry Truman's booth is still intact, preserved and well-stocked.Holslag painted these murals in 1903. We were thrilled to be able to preserve the images for posterity and have them in a form to share in the hopes that folks will want to see them in person. This outing was just a part of exploring our symposium theme this year. Art and the Trail. Find information about the symposium at santafetrail.org. It will be held September 27-30 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Independence, MO.
