Dobby's Frontier Town - Alliance                                    2025 

  

Fascinating town with numerous buildings depicting various professions.  Each one contains many items actually from this era.  



Even though we've been through many old and restored frontier towns over the years, we always find something in them that's new to us.  Such as this coffin with a window.  Look at the intricate carving in the wood.


My sister Vicki was finally put in jail!  I've been waiting for over 60 years for this.  Alas, she was just taunting me, look at that smile.


It's always fascinating how printing presses used to work.  I went to school in Clarkson and the Colfax County Press office had one.  I don't know if it's still there but it was when I was last there around 20 years ago.  Complete with thousands of lead type.  They showed me how images were created and the lead molds were made.



Interesting town.  Free-will donations for admission.  Very well laid out.  Certainly worth the time to wander around.
