Remember Ed's arrowheads? With the exception of the black one in the middle, a donation that turned out to be a fake, every one was a treasure that he found in the farmfields and riverbeds of the Hiawatha Valley. Ed willed the collection to the Wabasha County Historical Society, and you can see it at at the Read's Landing Museum. Hours: 1-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays May 16-Oct. 1 and by appointment. When the cousins were kids, the items they most wanted to see were those little rattlesnake rattles, which Ed seemed to bring home regularly from his forays in the sandstone cliffs.

We visited the museum in 2008 and found the arrowheads were in a cardboard box with others on the shelf. We gave the new custodian a photo and she will try to reassemble them. We were pleased that Pam got the tomahawk or that might have disappeared.
