Re: Treasure Trove: Grandpa's Old Ford Garage, Desoto, Kansas
I am almost ashamed to say this but here it goes.
I went to school, kindergarden through 12th grade, in DeSoto, KS.
I just asked my dad last week "hey, whats that place on main street in DeSoto with the Ford sign out front?" My dad didnt know. I bet I have asked 10 people that same question. No one has been able to give me an answer.
My in-laws live in DeSoto, we ate dinner 2 blocks away from this place last night!
I am kind of ashamed that I never stopped to at least peak in the window or something. The place looks like there is never anyone there. But then again, it looks exaclt y the same as it did when I was 5 years old (nearly 30 years ago) so obviously someone is keeping it up.
Its crazy that I have finally learned what the building with the old Ford sign out front is. All because of this website!
I love this place !!!
Keep up the good work

Someone needs to correct the webmaster (Keith Stokes) on this story.
The picture at the bottom of Page 1 is misidentified as a Model A Station Wagon.

DeSoto is about 30 minutes from here. I don't know if it is still there, but there used to be a military munitions dump there.
Cool stuff for sure.
RonIt's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

The place is still there, it looks like a city. You cant really tell where it starts or stops. There are still signs everywhere that say "keep out u.s. military etc. etc." I never had the balls to go past those signs.
