Lucy Tayiah Eads, the first woman to serve as principal chief of the Kaw Nation, was born during a tragic era for the Kansa People. During the early 19th Century the Kansas or Kaws occupied much of what would become Eastern Kansas. Treaties diminished their lands to 20 square miles near Council Grove, Ks.
This apartment will be furnished with a style and design that honors the Kaw People who walked the banks of the Neosho River long before the wagons crossed over along the Santa Fe Trail.

According to Charles Goodnight, "He was the best cowboy on the trail... could stampede or quiet a herd quicker than any rustler I ever met." Chalk Beeson worked for a time as a guide to buffalo hunters like George Custer, served as Ford County Sheriff, State Legislator and ranched near Dodge City, Ks. Upon acquiring the famous Long Branch Saloon from a debtor, Beeson's wife was comforted by the fact that her husband provided an alternative form of entertainment to the typical dancing girls and is most famous for founding the Cowboy Band in 1884.
This apartment will give a nod to all the babies who grew up to be cowboys and the local ranchers who still strive to ride for the brand.
