History Trail at American Heroes Park.

 The start of this trail is not very well marked.  It is off the last parking area about halfway from the end.  There is a creek and the trail is where the creek is going through a culvert.  After getting into the woods it is marked; History and nature trail l.2 miles.  I just walked to the first. ben where thee is a history informational display.  It talks about life along the Missouri.

Andy Devine at Kingman History Museum, Visitors Center

 At the Kingman History Museum the display for Andy Devine has been moved.  There is no longer an Andy Devine theater and the items are pushed to the front of the museum instead of in the back by the theater.  Even so there is a representation of several Andy Devine movies and t.v. shows.
