As promised, this week we are sharing with you some of the photos taken at the 66 Cafe which was located on the southeast corner of HWY 50 and Campbell Street in Lakin. The 66 had several managers over the years, but these photos of employees and customers were taken when the cafe was being ran by sisters Bertha Walker Johnson and Emma Walker Musgrove. We think they are wonderful pictures from a bygone era and hope you feel the same.
Please consider sharing with the historical society any pictures you may have of old businesses, buildings and even people of Kearny County. We always think that a story is more entertaining when there is a picture to go along with it, and we definitely could use more photos. For instance, we have no photographs of the Dairy King and only one of the Rainbow King skating rink. Birthday party pictures are wonderful, and exterior pictures are also very much appreciated! We won’t keep your photos but will make digital copies for Museum files. Photos can also be e-mailed to us at KCHSMuseum@outlook.com.
