Drew's cub scout pack visited the Tulsa Historical Society for a scavenger hunt today.

The Tulsa Historical Society is housed in the Samuel Travis Mansion originally build in 1919 and finally purchased by the Historical Society in 1997 from a developer who had planned to demolish the structure. The right-third of the building was added on to the original symmetrical structure, as well as the triple arches which extend out from the original simply front door.

The tour guide was excellent with a great command of history as well as an ability to deal with the tour participants when they threw her an unexpected curve.

We all learned that the term "uppercase" letters originated with typewriters in which there were no dual-function keys operated by a shift key but, rather, all of the capital letters were originally laid out above the "lowercase" letters.

Drew taking a turn reading the next clue in the scavenger hunt.

This is a "mobile" phone from the 1970s. I'll bet it held a lot of apps in that big case.

Our proud new cub scout.
