May 6, 2020, Osage County will be hosting 45 senior citizens from Cole County’s Learning in Retirement program on
May 6. First stop will be a tour of Osage Industries in Linn to view the production of custom made
ambulances and emergency vehicles. Next stop will be a tour of St. George Catholic Church which
started in Linn in 1866. Homemade lunch will be provided by St. Ann’s Sodality. A short drive south of
Linn on Highway 89 will take the guests to Seven Thunder Bison Farm. Continuing south on Highway 89
will bring the bus to the Chamois river bottom and the Paulsmeyer Family Farms. This sixth generation
farm raises corn, soybeans, sweet corn, melons and pumpkins and they will demonstrate some of their
farm equipment. The final Osage County visit will be Dudenhoeffer’s Countryside Gardens near the
small community of Frankenstein. Our guests will have plenty of opportunities to purchase flowering
plants. Kay Schwenke of Osage County Agritourism Council helped pull together this trip with Wendy
Hansen of Learning in Retirement – we look forward to future collaborative tours.
