Garrett Seuser will discuss the artifacts found on the Kimble property near Wildcat Creek, which was the intersection of the Fort Leavenworth-Fort Riley military trail. This location served as a significant campsite from approximately 1853 to 1866, as evidenced by the many military artifacts unearthed there. Additionally, the G.W. Eubanks cabin, located on the property, was a wellknown stop for early settlers of Manhattan, as well as for soldiers and traders. Join Garrett for a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of frontier military life, see the actual artifacts that were recovered, and learn about their historical significance and connection to the early history of Riley County.
