Gindstone

Displayed with the Peyote Ceremonial Tepee is a grindstone found by Jack McLemore on his farm near what is now Colony, Oklahoma. In designating the site as a National Historic Landmark, archeologists describe the area as having been a small village of the Plains agricultural complex, dating back to A.D. 1000. This area was included in the Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation. The grindstone sits on a table that belonged to Justice Yvonne Kauger’s great-grandfather, Fred Kauger, a German from Russia, who settled in Colony before statehood.
