What a<br />
summer!<br />
With so<br />
many activities to<br />
choose from, it<br />
seems as if summer<br />
has flown by. As we<br />
transition into fall<br />
and the school year,<br />
we focus on our<br />
community activities<br />
with an emphasis on<br />
children. Our pace at the FHDC also<br />
changes as we move away from the large<br />
number of summer travelers to adult bus<br />
tours and hosting adventure camps to<br />
scheduled programs and weekend events.<br />
It’s a great time to reflect and evaluate<br />
our success for the first half of the year!<br />
One of our many successes this year is<br />
our current traveling exhibit, Amazing<br />
Dinosaurs! If you haven’t checked it out,<br />
be sure and do so before Sunday,<br />
September 11; it is very hands on learning<br />
for all ages. On September 11, we open to<br />
the community for our annual Family Day,<br />
offering free admission as a thank you for<br />
the support throughout the year. We look<br />
forward to many returning visitors as well as<br />
those who have never visited before.<br />
Many exciting events are taking place in<br />
the next few months in the Flint Hills region.<br />
On Saturday, <strong>Aug</strong>ust 27, the <strong>Tallgrass</strong><br />
National Preserve in Strong City will be<br />
celebrating its 20th Anniversary along with<br />
the National Park System celebrating its<br />
100th Anniversary. For the Flint Hills region,<br />
this is a wonderful opportunity for us to<br />
show support to the Preserve and to<br />
experience the beauty of the Flint Hills.<br />
On Saturday, September 10, join the FHDC<br />
and Suzi Paron for an educational workshop,<br />
the Kansas Quilt. From 9:30-11:30 a.m., she<br />
will be showcasing numerous locations to<br />
visit in the Flint Hills to see amazing barn<br />
quilts. She will also be hosting a book<br />
signing from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. in the<br />
FHDC atrium. For additional information,<br />
please contact Visit Manhattan.<br />
Thank you again for your support to the<br />
Flint Hills Discovery Center through your<br />
membership. We could not be successful<br />
without your support!<br />

Exhibitions<br />
Going Home: Hidden Histories of the Flint Hills comes to FHDC<br />
Laura Ingalls Wilder once said that<br />
“Home is the nicest word there is.”<br />
A new exhibit comes to the Flint Hills<br />
Discovery Center in the fall from the<br />
Chapman Center and students of Kansas<br />
State University.<br />
“I am looking forward to hearing<br />
visitors' stories of their hometowns<br />
including the happy stories, the sad ones,<br />
the funny ones,” said Bonnie Lynn-<br />
Sherow, Associate Professor of American<br />
History and Executive Director of the<br />
Chapman Center for Rural Studies.<br />
“These are important, but often forgotten,<br />
details of our past.”<br />
There will be many interactives within<br />
the exhibit, including a map to help<br />
locate lost towns in the Flint Hills, iPad<br />
stations with stories of communities, a<br />
place for visitors to record their<br />
memories, a children’s area and more.<br />
“I hope visitors will feel a connection<br />
between themselves and the people of<br />
the past,” said Lynn-Sherow. “That they<br />
see folks just like themselves who lived<br />
and worked and played in a place they<br />
also called home.”<br />
This exhibition represents the work<br />
of undergraduate students over the past<br />
several years working with faculty in the<br />
Chapman Center for Rural Studies at KSU,<br />
and made possible by an estate gift from<br />
Mr. Mark Chapman. The stories, images,<br />
sounds and even the exhibit films were<br />
written, discovered and shot by an<br />
amazing and talented group of young<br />
scholars who care deeply about the Flint<br />
Hills.<br />
“We all long to go home, perhaps not<br />
in a physical sense, but in our growing up<br />
memories,” said Lynn-Sherow.<br />
“Going Home will help visitors do that in<br />
unique and profound ways.”<br />
The exhibition opens Saturday,<br />
September 24 at 10 a.m. to the public.<br />
FHDC members receive a sneak preview<br />
on Friday, September 23, 5:30-7 p.m.<br />
Please call 785.587.2726 to reserve your<br />
space today.<br />
Stories, images, sounds and films were written, discovered and shot by Kansas State<br />
scholars and will be showcased in the fall exhibition.<br />

Education<br />
From dynamos to dinosaurs, education is going prehistoric this summer!<br />
Spring is field trip season for many<br />
schools and we are proud to be the<br />
destination for educators. Hundreds<br />
of students came to learn more about the<br />
Flint Hills through our unique educational<br />
programs. Our Engineer It series has been<br />
a success; younger students designed and<br />
built windmills while older students<br />
created impressive designs in our<br />
Engineer It: Prosthetic Leg class.<br />
This summer, it’s been all about<br />
dinosaurs for the Flint Hills Discovery<br />
Center education team this summer.<br />
Pre-school classes were bursting with<br />
students excited to learn more about<br />
dinosaurs, so we doubled the number<br />
of pre-school classes, offering afternoon<br />
sessions to accommodate the high<br />
demand. We made dinosaur feet,<br />
removed fossils from ice and listened<br />
to a series of wonderful dinosaur story<br />
books.<br />
Dinosaur Academy inspired a new<br />
generation of paleontologists with<br />
behind-the-scenes and hands-on fossil<br />
exploration as well as a closer look at<br />
how dinosaurs lived and died. Dinosaur<br />
Academy students met with Tabatha<br />
Gabay, a vertebrate paleontology<br />
graduate student with the University<br />
of Kansas. Tabatha answered questions<br />
about paleontology and demonstrated<br />
how she uncovers and preserves fossils.<br />
In June, youth enjoyed Dinosaur Puppet<br />
Dinner Theater with storyteller and<br />
puppeteer Priscilla Howe. Priscilla<br />
entertained us all with her special version<br />
of fairy tales from a dinosaur’s<br />
perspective. Our education team,<br />
volunteers and Priscilla helped<br />
participants create their own puppets<br />
and watched them perform in a small<br />
show of their own.<br />
Our Summer Adventure Camps<br />
included fossil digs, water balloon fights,<br />
camping techniques and exciting off-site<br />
field trips including the Kaw Mission and<br />
Santa Fe Trail in Council Grove, and the<br />
<strong>Tallgrass</strong> Prairie Preserve. We have a lot of<br />
fun Adventure Camps planned for the fall<br />
with a focus on communities and homes<br />
of the past and present. We will learn<br />
about the technology of the early settlers,<br />
how to make tools pioneers used every<br />
day and visit local buildings to learn more<br />
about architecture!<br />

Connecting with the Flint Hills<br />
Scenic bus tours, hairy spiders, lectures and more!<br />
It’s the final days of summer and the<br />
perfect time to see the prairie in all its<br />
glory. The Flint Hills Discovery Center<br />
took advantage of the weather to<br />
introduce a whole new audience<br />
to the hills with new programming.<br />
FHDC successfully launched a brand<br />
new <strong>Tallgrass</strong> Tour Bus series with a trip<br />
to Scenic Chase County on Saturday,<br />
May 7. Participants started their day with<br />
a guided tour of the bison pastures and<br />
Spring Hill Ranch headquarters at<br />
<strong>Tallgrass</strong> Prairie National Preserve,<br />
enjoyed lunch at Ad Astra in Strong City<br />
and ended the day with a tour of the<br />
historic Chase County Courthouse.<br />
On June 18, we hosted our second<br />
annual Wolf Spider Night Walk at<br />
Fairmont Park. Professor Dustin Wilgers<br />
from McPherson College led a group of<br />
all ages to find, catch and release wolf<br />
spiders. With the help of headlamps,<br />
young and old looked for the eye shine<br />
and trapped spiders as large as a child’s<br />
hand!<br />
The Go See It! lecture series continues<br />
into the Fall with several lectures perfect<br />
for the conservationist and historian in all<br />
of us. On <strong>Aug</strong>ust 18, K-State Professor<br />
Nathan Hendricks will present on the<br />
Volunteering<br />
Thank you to our volunteers in helping execute the annual Flint Hills Festival!<br />
The Flint Hills Festival was a rousing<br />
success and that is in large part<br />
to our dedicated volunteers who<br />
helped helm the activities. The Flint Hills<br />
Discovery Center would like to give a<br />
heartfelt thank you to our volunteers for<br />
helping make the event a success.<br />
Without our amazing volunteers, this<br />
event would not have been possible!<br />
We are very thankful for all the<br />
experience and diverse skill sets our<br />
volunteers bring to the FHDC. In fact,<br />
Brad Shaw, a retired K State Spanish<br />
professor, uses his multilingual skills in<br />
the galleries quite often. Recently Brad<br />
was even able to help us communicate<br />
with a new member all the way in Spain!<br />
We are so proud to have such a<br />
diverse group of dedicated volunteers<br />
who are instrumental to our guest<br />
experience.<br />
issue of modern sodbusting in the<br />
United States. Then on September 15,<br />
we welcome back Greg Hoots from the<br />
Wabaunsee County Historical Society<br />
who will speak on the early photography<br />
of Otto Kratzer.<br />
<strong>Oct</strong>ober 20 brings a unique evening<br />
with the screening of the short film<br />
“When the Well Runs Dry” from<br />
filmmaker Steve Lerner. This film explores<br />
the important tie between Flint Hills<br />
residents and water resources. A panel<br />
discussion about water will follow.<br />
Finally, on November 17, we welcome<br />
a select group of K-State faculty for a<br />
moderated panel discussion all about<br />
the future of the Flint Hills. What issues<br />
will dominate the next 20, 50, or 100<br />
years? Come learn more from these local<br />
experts.<br />

Foundation launches FHDC Youth Education Endowment<br />
On April 16, 2016, at the Friends of the<br />
Flint Hills event honoring Nancy<br />
Kassebaum, the FHDC Foundation<br />
launched an endowment fund.<br />
The fund is managed by the Greater<br />
Manhattan Community Foundation.<br />
The mission is to support youth<br />
educational programing and events<br />
delivered by the Flint Hills Discovery<br />
Center which are designed to inspire<br />
youth to interpret, explore and<br />
preserve the Flint Hills.<br />
The focus of this endowment is to<br />
insure that a continuous stream of funds<br />
is available to sustain the quality youth<br />
programing currently offered by the Flint<br />
Hills Discovery Center.<br />
The current goal is to raise $1,000,000<br />
over a two year period in order to<br />
establish a permanent endowment that<br />
would sustain Flint Hills Discovery<br />
Center youth programing and events<br />
in perpetuity. Funding efforts would<br />
be ongoing after the initial two year<br />
period in order to expand, continue and<br />
improve the Flint Hills Discovery Center<br />
opportunities to educate youth about<br />
this unique region whether they live<br />
in the area or have traveled here to<br />
enjoy the benefits of Manhattan and<br />
the surrounding Flint Hills.<br />
Funds raised will be used to<br />
establish the permanent endowment<br />
fund to support, expand and enhance<br />
the current educational programs<br />
currently delivered by the Flint Hills<br />
Discovery Center to youth. Ninety<br />
percent of the funds will go directly to<br />
the permanent Flint Hills Discovery Center<br />
Youth Educational Endowment.<br />
Each year, five percent of the endowment<br />
fund would be distributed to the<br />
Flint Hills Discovery Center designated<br />
for youth programs. The remaining ten<br />
percent of the funds would go directly<br />
to the Foundation for ongoing operating<br />
and development activities. Such activities<br />
would include further fundraising efforts,<br />
donor recognition and support of special<br />
projects which are compatible with the<br />
Flint Hills Discovery Center and the<br />
Foundation’s missions.<br />
The Foundation invites you join in<br />
this wonderful opportunity to designate<br />
your funding dollars directly to youth<br />
educational programs at the Flint Hills<br />
Discovery Center. You may make your<br />
financial donation as a lump sum or<br />
establish an ongoing pledge. To learn<br />
more about the FHDC Foundation<br />
fundraising opportunities, visit the<br />
FHDC website.<br />

Shopping<br />
Check out Prairie Lavender Farm products at the FHDC Gift Store!<br />
While out enjoying the nature<br />
of the Flint Hills region this<br />
summer, be sure to protect<br />
your skin from the sun, insects and other<br />
elements with products made from the<br />
natural essential oils of lavender. Lavender<br />
essential oil has been has been utilized for<br />
many functions for centuries. From insect<br />
repellent and burn ointment to<br />
antibacterial and antiseptic, lavender<br />
has been used for its medicinal properties<br />
since the Egyptians 3,500 years ago.<br />
Based in Bennington, Prairie Lavender<br />
Farm produces over 3000 plants. After<br />
harvesting, owner Mike Neustrom dries<br />
the flower buds out before extracting the<br />
essential oils.<br />
“We harvest the bundles of lavender,<br />
dry it, strip the buds and then distill,” said<br />
Neustrom. “It takes about 200 pounds of<br />
buds to get one pound of oil by weight.”<br />
This oil is used to make a wide variety<br />
of products from facial/body care<br />
products all the way to culinary lavender.<br />
“The uses are so many I wouldn’t know<br />
just where to start, but lavender is a<br />
natural antiseptic, analgesic and provides<br />
a calming effect on most people,” said<br />
Neustrom.<br />
Please visit the Gift Store to purchase<br />
Prairie Lavender Farm’s products,<br />
including lip balm, soaps, insect<br />
repellents, sachets and lotions.<br />
