Buffalo Bill Mathewson's well saved by road reroute near Lyons
The Buffalo Bill Mathewson well near the Santa Fe Trail at Lyons Kansas was spared destruction after a road reroute. A redwood top was added to resemble the original. The scene recalls a trading post heritage and Civil War era changes at Harpers Ferry and the Potomac Shenandoah confluence in West Virginia, with shifting control between Union and Confederate forces.
