The wild fur trappers came to town during Hart Historical Days. Shaun and I went to the Hart historical days events on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. The highlight was meeting Ken Mugget who is almost 90 and has donated his collections of wildlife taxidermy to the Hart Historical Society. He was a fascinating man who was interested in everyone’s thoughts stories and their questions. He was interested to hear of our coyote visitor and Shaun asked him a lot of 
questions. 
There are several buildings that have been restored and moved to this site. There is an old one-room schoolhouse and we have several pictures of Shaun as the teacher and student. I happened to read the typical 8th grade final exam and we may not be as smart today as they were back then.
Shaun’s favorite part was the arrowhead collection in the basement of the church. A very interesting gentleman was demonstrating how Indians made the arrowheads by chipping rocks to form pointed tips. Shaun really enjoyed the displays and the arrowhead dude. He found rocks outside after we left and had to bring them back to show the guy. He knew a lot about how and where the Indians were using the tools.
We watched the lawn tractor pulls and shared a elephant ear for lunch. See photos under Hart Historical.
