One of the adventure emails from KCUR, npr station, was to explore Rosedale, Kansas. Rosedale Kansas is the town directly across the state line from Southwest Blvd to 47st. KU Medical Center is located in Rosedale. The adventure email suggested visiting the KU Medical Museum. This is free to the public.
I got lost at first. I found a building dated 1936 Children's Pavilion.
I turned around and went back to the building I thought it was.
I found a fountain.
Life is short and the art is long - Hippocrates quote
This is the building I needed.
Google maps was wrong!
Originally, the first building on KUMC campus, Bell Memorial hospital
Currently this is the administration building.
Most of the museum tells the story of KU Medical Center.
It was started by Simeon Bishop Bell.
This is a picture of the original hospital about a mile from where it is currently located.
This hospital was too small.

Microscope from the early 1900s
The Murphy Building is 100 years old
Moving the hospital one mile caused many political issues.

I went to this museum last week in the super cold days after the snow on January 17th. I try to always keep at least one adventure ready to go in case of bad weather, temperatures or car problems. I have been able to get out and this post was kind of forgotten. I want to get it posted in January.
Until tomorrow.
