Human Leg Bones, Stuffed Dog, Buddy Holly Love Spot

These artifacts are difficult to spot amongst all the other collectibles on the walls, but the staff are great to point them out -- and they also shared that they have the human ashes of a long-time patron who asked that his remains remain at the bar.

The stuffed dog has certainly seen better days and is now inside a glass case to preserve him longer. The human leg bones are in-between the two rooms of the 137-year-old bar. Stay for some food, a drink, and a story or two!
