Well it took a few weeks, but I found it (in a manilla envelope in a file cabinet in my office at work!)

I've seen this before, but can't remember where...

Looking at the city map I see the Butterfield Hotel is on this map. It was torn down about 1979. The Wilson's Farm area is now covering that spot.

Yah It is the only thing to the other side of the train tracks as well. The Depot is on the map, but from the location I assumed the Butterfield Hotel was located more Huck Finns area (Wax hands) now exists. Thanks for the clarification

Here's a souvenir that I had completely forgotten I had until I rummaged through some old boxes my last trip home.  Purchased at the Hospitality House, no doubt.

Wanna start a band?

WITH hard case for protection!
(my other side looks the same as yours with the decorative brads on the screws...but there is a big  mark from the price tag, so I photographed the other side!

This could be the start of everything folks.  Next time you see Rubedugans and myself, we'll be closing out the Echo Hollow Ampitheater.

That would be worth the price of admission right there!

I was in a band and played drums for a year or so in high school, but neer harmonica. I played bass for years in high school and college in a band...but never harmonica.
I currently play guitar once a month in a Bluegrass band but never harmonica.

That's be a sight for sure! I'll stick to painting!

Actually, I think that Butterfield Hotel is a building that was located right across the tracks from the Saloon, where Aunt Polly's Restaurant now sits. When I first worked in the Saloon (77), we would go sit on it's porch for a smoke and wave at the train as it went by. The locations shown of Lake Silver and many of the structures are misleading, as they are on most SDC maps.

You’re right about that Zephon! It’s always fun looking over the older Pathfinders, and seeing how all of the building, and landmarks are way out of place. The current Pathfinder isn’t perfect, but it’s an improvement from the old days.

Here is a photo that was in with several Branson and Forsyth Photos

Do you notice any familiar faces?
Try this detail...

Look familiar?Maybe like this?(this one below is NOT from my collection just a stock photo)

This is a photo of Missouri Governor Herbert Hadley on a White River float trip, circa 1909. The governor's trip is documented on pages 205-206 of Rafferty's The Ozarks: Land and Life, as well as Morrow's Shepherd of the Hills Country: Tourism Transforms the Ozarks.
