Tuesday Nancy, Courtney, Beth, and I were guests on a field trip to Sedalia, MO with her sister Diane and the Glendale Club. Beth filled us in on the history of the quaint little town. 
It seems where ever we go in Missouri there is a tribute to a special dog.
This seven story hotel was built in 1927 and is an example of Classic Revival architecture. One of the Glendale girls spent the first night of her honeymoon here before traveling to Niagara Falls in 1948.
The King of Ragtime, "Scott Joplin" lived here .
A mural of Scott Joplin is painted on the north wall of the Wilken Music Company.
Our first stop was at the Katy Depot. It was here where we learned of the 1974 Ozark Music Festival, touted as the Woodstock of the Midwest, you must check out www.ozarkmusicfestivalexhibit.com to really understand what a crazy time they had.The Katy Trail passes thru here and runs to St.Louis, MO.
Many of western movies had cattle drives that went thru Sedalia.
The Glendale girls loose in downtown Sedalia.Lunch was at The Ivy Cottage Tea Room, d-lish!
I really enjoyed this trip to Sedalia! You did a great job with the photos and info shared. Hey! You can be my tour guide anytime :)
