OHU50K NOTES
The home is located in Osborne, Kansas (pop. 1,431). Settlers from southeastern Pennsylvania founded the town in May 1871 and named it after Vincent B. Osborne, a Union Army veteran of the Civil War. Osborne is one of those small Mid-Western towns situated smack in the middle of miles and miles of farmland. The town is just a 3o-minute drive to Waconda Lake, otherwise known as Glen Elder Reservoir. The lake, with its rural setting, is a great place to relax, fish, hike and go nature watching.According to ksoutdoors.com:
The reservoir covers what once was a mineral spring sacred to many Native Americans and former home of a sanitarium. The Waconda Springs Replica at the park pays tribute to this ill-fated site of Kansas geology and Native American history. At Waconda Heritage Village, a living museum, visit the historic Hopewell Church south of the park office.
Glen Elder Wildlife Area encompasses almost 13,200 land acres surrounding the lake. You can see and photograph a diversity of wildlife species. In winter, bald and golden eagles visit. Deer and pheasant are common sights. Waterfowl stop on their migrations, and a small Canada goose flock makes the area home.
