Cache Trading Post & Amusement Park

 I found this painting on its side stashed between some shelves.

 Assorted odds & ends that have been accumulating dust for decades.  Strong smell of mouse urine permeated the building.  Odd bits of trash were scattered throughout.

 These photos were hanging near the door.  The Star House at the top was in the original location, surrounded by a picket fence on high ground near the Wichita Mountains.  The man in the photo was the man who bought the house from Mrs. Birdsong, Quanah's daughter.At that time, Mrs. Birdsong lived in it.  In 1955, the Air Force needed the land it sat on to use to test a new missile.  She delayed as long as possible, and finally took up an offer to move the house about 1 1/2 miles to a location in Cache.  She lived there without water or electricity until finally trading it to the Uncle of the current owner for a liveable house.  He moved the Star House to the back of his amusement park in Cache, where it was going to be one of several old buildings as a tourist attraction.  In 1985, a fire swept through the amusement park, destroying the rides.  The buildings were spared, though.  Unfortunately, though, they were unable to get insurance, and the ravaged remains of the rides remain where they were, and the buildings at the back are slowly deteriorating.  People still trickle through to see the Star House, even without signs or advertisements, and the current owner (somewhat eccentric) gives individual tours for donations when and if he wants to, so most are unable to see it.

 One of the buildings, an old church, sitting by the Star House.

 This is an old ride of some sort next to the Star House.

 This is a roller coaster track with trees growing up through it.
