It is not a safe. I'll help you out by naming the financial institution, The Chrisman-Sawyer Bank.

Oh, and WCHS is correct that in 1986 the stagecoach wasn't in the yard at the Depot. The C&A Depot did not move there until 1996. This trivia question isn't from the game.

The stage that was at the museum was called the "Trail's End Stage" rather than Wells Fargo.

I dont specifically recall the mention of Chrisman-Sawyer bank when I went through the museum but I will take a SWAG and say a bank work counter or desk of some sort might have been in there.

The massive roll-top desk in the Depot office originally belonged to local attorney Albert Ott. He became president of the Chrisman-Sawyer Bank.

So much for Wells Fargo, chuckle.

The answer to the next trivia/guessing game...Engine 76 er 96...no wait it was promoted, Engine 99.

The last question was a bit tough, so I'll toss you an easy one.

Who was Truman High School named for?

[WCHS'59]

Most observations are usually not correct.


I recall when one little puny rectangular building was put up on south Noland and it was called Truman High.

Riding the Missouri River Eagle from the MoPac station to Warrensburg, I recall a number of college student passengers would recognize the building as possibly a school and then ask among themselves what school it could possibly be.

I also remember the naming "controversy."

U.S. Grant?

No, wait, that is the tomb joke

Ok . . my FINAL Answer:

The Mizzou mascot?

Why would they name a high school after Tony the Tiger?

[Mad Anthonie]

It must be a tougher question than I imagined, as no one has correctly answered yet.

Fearing this is a trick question, I'll nonetheless answer Harry Truman for the high school now located on noland rd.
