Club Members Welcome KCBARC Hams to Ensor

The home page of the website for Ensor Park and Museum in south Olathe encourages prospective visitors to the eight-acre complex to actually check the place out by telling them matter-of-factly but enticingly, "You have to see it to believe it!"
That's not a problem for most people, of course, but for thousands of Americans who were either born blind or have lost their sight since due to an accident, a disease or an illness, having the ability to use their eyes to take in the picturesque grounds at Ensor Park and Museum and all of the fascinating items on display inside the house and outbuildings is nothing more than wishful thinking at this point. So should anyone who is blind make the trip to 18995 183rd Street with the assistance of a sighted friend or relative, he or she would have to rely on their ears and hands primarily to absorb information about the Ensor family and the family farm, the work Marshall and his younger sister Loretta did in the field of amateur radio and the equipment they used, and Marshall's years as a manual arts teacher and the equipment he and his students used to turn out many lovely pieces of furniture, a few of which can be found in the Ensor home.
