These 10 marbles were recovered during excavations in 2014 of the Adair cabin site, home of Reverend Samuel and Florella Brown Adair and their family, in Osawatomie, Kansas. The marbles, made of ceramic and glass, represent hours of fun. Osawatomie and the Adairs were much involved with the abolitionist movement during the "Bleeding Kansas" years.
