PACE SIX—-THE ALTO HERALD OF ALTO, TEXAS—THURSDAY. MAY 28. 1987
'You Have Made It Happen For Us!'
The Cherokee County Heritage
Aianriatinn has iust returned from
their annual tour thorugh historical
Oklahoma and Missouri. This was
the group’s ninth tour and
arrangements have been made
throughout the years with the Jim
Mulvlhill Tours of Oraqge Park,
Fla. The group left from Rusk and
arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma and had
a short tour of the medical facilities
at the Oral Roberts University. The
750 bed hospital is designed for the
most modern methods of patient
care and family comfort. Families
of patients can have rooms right in
the hospital at a very nominal cost.
The second day the group had a
tour of Tulsa, the name derived from
an Indian tribe that lived in the area.
The Indian Territory of Oklahoma
did not become a State until 1907 and
therefore the City of Tulsa is a very
new city with elegant homes, chur-
ches and business district. The Oral
Roberts complex has the university,
hospital, retirement and nursing
home facilities and the new Biblical
Center which will eventually house a
visual history of the entire Bible.
Only one building is now open to the
public depicting Genesis, Chapters 1
thru 4. Another building is being
constructed and will be completed in
six months. The entire complex will
be housed in seven buildings.
The next stop was Claremore,
Oklahoma and the Will Rogers
Memorial. It contains paintings,
sculptures, manuscripts and other

possessions of the Oklahoma born
humorist. There is also a theater
where a short biography of Will
Rogers’ life is shown as well as the
pictures he starred in. Will Rogers
and his wife was buried on the groun-
ds. The second day the group had a
tour of Kansas City, Missouri and
were told that this area was famous
for their miles and miles of
limestone caves. They are connec-
ted by roads that trucks, buses and
cards can drive through They are
used by the government for storing
important documents and by in-
dustry from photography to cookies
for storage. The temperature and
humidity are perfect for preser-
vation and protection. These caves
are open to the public to drive thru
and tour. Several hours were spent
at the Truman Library and Museum
in Independence where both
President and Bess Truman are
buried. Lunch was enjoyed at the
famous Apple Orchard Restaurant.
Hannibal, Missouri was the next
stop. The group attending the per-
formance of Reflections of Mark
Twain at an amphitheater on the
banks of a stream. Across the
stream was a replica of Hannibal in
the days of Mark Twain and excer-
pts from the books Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Finn were woven into
the play. The props were complete
with a paddle wheel steamer,
graveyard, and an island. The group
also had a leisurely half day visiting
Mark Twain's home and a cruise on-
the Mississippi River. Lunch was in
a restaurant owned by Betty Noonan
and her son Jack, former Rusk
residents. It is located near Mark
Twain’s home. The group then
traveled to St. Louis where they had
dinner on the Riverboat the Robert
E. Lee. This included a variety
show.
The next day featured a leisurely
visit to the Forrest Park Gardens
which includes The Climatron, a
climate-controlled garden housed in
a huge dome, then the group enjoyed
a drive-through of the Anhauser
Busch Beer complex where one
group of the Clydesdale Horses are
housed.
The last stop in St. Louis was the
Gateway Arch which is a memorial
to Thomas Jefferson who negotiated
the Louisiana Purchase and opened
the gateway to the West. It is our
nation’s largest monument. Lunch
was in the quaint town of St.
Genevieve at a restored inn. St.
Genevieve was the first settlement
in Missouri on the Mississippi. It is
designated a historic site, many of
the old buildings are open to the
public, the area is full of authentic
antique shops and it has not been
commercialized or restored as has
Williamsburg.
The last evening of the trip was
spent in Branson, Missouri, where
the group enjoyed an evening at the
Roy Clark Dinner Theater.
Those making the trip, sponsored
by the Cherokee County Heritage
Association, were Mable Horn, who
was chairman of the arrangements,
assisted by Lois Henry and Ethel
Pledger, Thelma Smith, Bill March,
