A large assemblage of farmers stand on an elevated curb at the corner of two roads and waits for the arrival of some important personage. Some of the farmers have horse-drawn wagons, and many of the people are standing on the wagons. A small band wearing white uniforms and holding musical instruments stands on the left side of the group. The prevalence of overalls and horse-drawn wagons indicate that this is a farming community early in the 1900's. From: Museum Collection #93.12 (items found inside locked credenza in Harry S. Truman's working office at Truman Library).
