NATIONAL DROVERS HALL OF FAME

ELLSWORTH, KS

Thro' the magnifying glass Something a bit different from the Sean T. O'Ceallaigh Collection to start this week.  A headstone in the name of Dillon which looks dark and dreary but thanks to the benefits of "Supermegazoomability" we can read things a bit better than the late Uachtaráin.  The title says  "If you look thro' a magnifying glass you can see plainly the inscription "Gondeunad [?] Dia trócaireona" but you can make your own mind up on that!  Where is it and why would the Dillon family be of interest to the late President?

The National Drovers Hall of Fame is a museum located in Ellsworth, Kansas. The museum is dedicated to the history of the cattle drives that took place in the late 19th century, where cowboys would drive large herds of cattle from Texas to Kansas for sale.

The museum features exhibits that showcase the history of the cattle industry, including displays of cowboy gear, photographs, and artifacts. Visitors can learn about the famous drovers who made the cattle drives, such as Jesse Chisholm, and the importance of the cattle industry to the development of the American West.

In addition to the exhibits, the National Drovers Hall of Fame hosts events throughout the year, including a cowboy poetry gathering and a chuckwagon cook-off. The museum also offers educational programs for school groups and tours for visitors.

The National Drovers Hall of Fame is located in a historic building that was once a bank and later a hotel. The building was restored in the 1990s and now serves as a tribute to the men and women who helped shape the cattle industry and the American West.
