She must have been a huge collector, in addition to a good shooter.

Drove by the cemetery in which she is burried this evening on my way to my parents home in Indiana. She was born and raised in Darke Co, Ohio and is burried in the old Brock cemetery. Stopped by her grave last summer to pay my respects. She has a modest headstone in the small cemetery. I believe she died in Greenville, OH not far from where she was born. A very interesting figure, for sure.

The Butlers' home in Cambridge, MD is a historic site of some sort, but privately owned and not open to the public.

Annie's home is no longer standing. There is a marker on 127 northwest of Brock stating the her birthplace was "near here."'

if you missed the PBS special on her a couple years ago -

they spend a lot of time on lead-in ads but hang in there, the story is interesting and you may catch a Parker in some of the photos shown

Thanks for the link Rick. I just sat and watched the whole thing. A very enlightening documentary of Annie Oakley with some wonderful pictures and motion pictures. She was really quite good looking too... what a lady!

Annie's Cambridge, MD home is alive and well.
