Atchison Reveals Its Old and New City Charms
In Atchison Kansas a town of 10656 shows contrasts from restored Victorian homes to newer buildings near grain elevators. Mary Begley still works daily at Begley Paolucci Grocery, a town landmark, while her son Mike returned from the Navy to run the shop. The piece tours the Great Detour sites, AT&SF railroad history, the historic depot now housing the museum, Amelia Earhart hometown lore, and brick streets with blue arrow tours including the Machine Art Gallery and Evah C Cray Home Museum.
