Memorabilia is coming out of storage and at least one piece has inspired a new beer.
“We will be unveiling the Fort Scott Indian Princess, Friday, August 24 at 4 p.m.,” according to an email from Barbara Ritter, owner of The Boiler Room Brewhaus. “We will also be featuring a namesake beer that has locally sourced peaches.”
“It’s a cream ale, conditioned with peaches beer,” said Bryan Ritter, the brewer.
The wooden Indian is on loan from the Historic Preservation Association, along with other memorabilia, such as old Fort Scott High School and railroad items, for the public to view.
The microbrewery is located at the corner of National Avenue and Wall Street, at 10 S. National.
According to information provided to the Brewhaus from the HPA below, the Indian maiden was in front of a tobacco store on North Main Street in Fort Scott, circa 1869. The store was owned by Frank Boyle, who was the city’s mayor from 1871-72.
Hours for the microbrewery are Thursday-Friday from 4-10 p.m.
Saturdays from 2 to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 7 p.m.
