Pipestone

2014 West then East, Lakota, Minnesota, National Parks, Native Americans, Pipestone NM-Minnesota, Road Trip, States

We visited Pipestone National Monument today. Though we’d not known about the park, we’ve known about it’s product and a bit about it’s significance in Native American culture. The peace pipe is carved from stone found only here. This is sacred land where these quarries are located in the Minnesota prairie. Even today as they have for hundreds of years, Native Americans quarry the pipestone on these lands and carve these prayer pipes. We feel privileged that they are willing to share these blessings with us!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
