| Some "girls" took a trip to Pawhuska and entered it into their blog. You might find it interesting. They start by discussing the Pioneer Woman/Mercantile. On down the page they have several pix of the stained glass windows along with quite a bit of their history. They end with a few pix of our swinging bridge. | ||
 |
<<The stained glass windows in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church are truly delightful.>> |
 |
