This poster advertised special excursion trains from Topeka to an old settlers reunion to be held at Bismarck Grove, Douglas County on September 15-16, 1879. This event was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the creation of Kansas Territory. The poster claims that this will be the "Grandest Celebration ever held in the State."
