Kadlecek Sioux artifacts draw collectors to Hay Springs
Hay Springs residents Charles and Mrs. Kadlecek preserve a turn of the century Sioux clothing and gear unseen since earlier eras. The collection includes beadwork garments, buckskin outfits, moccasins, belts, weapons, and a rare baby carrier, with items dating from 1900 to 1925. Visitors from Morrison Colorado and Omaha have viewed pieces, some loaned to the local historical museum. Age has damaged sinew and beads, yet historical value remains high.
