Grand Hotel, Medicine Lodge Kansas

[Bruce Day]

If you are traveling through the Red Hills of south central Kansas, through the land of ten thousand acre cattle ranches and quail thickets, you might find yourself by Medicine Lodge. The old Grand Hotel is still there, slowly being renovated by a retired vice president of Sturm Ruger and Co. So if you please, walk with me and take a little tour.

You will see Bill Ruger's overstuffed leather couch from his office. Some of the old posters and art work from Bill Ruger ' office hangs on the walls.

They were hunters of plains game in Africa and the American west , see the antelope heads on the wall.

The old hotel had fallen into disrepair from roof leaks, plaster rotting and falling. The plumbing leaking.

Its now The Gun Room at the Grand Hotel. So stop by, walk around, have a bite to eat in town, then head back to the thickets and stream valleys with the bird dogs and fine old double guns.
