Our Mission
Located on the historic Rogler Ranch just north of Matfield Green, the Pioneer Bluffs Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage invites ranchers, locals, schools, and visitors seeking a Flint Hills experience to come along with us as we journey through time to explore our history, and join us as we examine contemporary ranching issues.
Stories from Emil Redmon’s Cow: the Wisdom Keepers
Join us at Pioneer Bluffs on Sunday, April 28th at 2:00 p.m. to hear more stories from the ranch.
Mark Feiden – photographer, videographer, and creator of Emil Redmon’s Cow – returns to share his latest round of interviews with seasoned farmers and ranchers.
Emil Redmon’s Cow is an ongoing project, preserving great stories from Flint Hills farm and ranch folk. “The project does not necessarily focus on the details of people’s lives,” says Feiden. “Instead, we are sharing the tales that define lives—folklore.”
The “Wisdom Keepers,” part of the Emil Redmon’s Cow project, is funded by a generous grant from the Trusler Foundation of Emporia, in collaboration with Pioneer Bluffs Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage, and the Wabaunsee County Historical Society and Museum. To date, more than 250 thoroughly entertaining stories have been archived at RedmonsCow.org. As has been the case in years past, you are sure to recognize any number of familiar faces!
The presentation will begin at 2 pm in our historic 1915 Barn, followed by an informal reception for our VIP guests – the storytellers themselves! Cookies and water will be provided. Come early to tour our grounds and see updated displays in our historic 1908 ranch house. RSVP appreciated, but not required to: 620-753-3484, info@pioneerbluffs.org, or on the Facebook event page.
