Next Planning Commission Meeting
Wednesday September 8, 2010
7:00 p.m. ~ Council Meeting Room
Cottonwood Falls
By Steven K. Nagle
Beneath
the bricks on Broadway; beneath the courthouse stone,
Resting Native
spirits, this prairie was their home.
They bravely hunted bison, where city buildings stand,
Settlements lie buried, covered
over by mason's hands.
Native
heritage honored, their spirits forever last,
Arrowheads picked from fields,
remind us of their past.
Indian villages faded, the settler's town was born,
Endless farms and
ranches, fields of wheat and corn.
General
stores and feed mills, the railroad followed through,
Merchants
came from miles, as the tiny city grew.
Stretching
high among them, block steps and red lane meet,
The courthouse
sits eternal in the Chase County seat.
Survived
the prairie fires, dust storms and flooding rains,
This town is everlasting,
a treasure on the plains.
Ensuring preservation, hung on museum
walls,
The Flint Hills best
kept secret; Cottonwood Falls.
