Southeast Kansas was keeping tradition alive Sunday with cookies. The Miner’s Hall Museum opened its doors for A Taste of Arma. It’s the second presentation part of the museum’s quarterly exhibit exploring the history of city. Today focused on the history of French cookies in Arma. The original Belgi Galette French cookie iron you see here was replicated in Arma and Pittsburg. It helped the cookie gain popularity within the community, especially during weddings and Christmas. According to today’s presenter Rachelle Mengarelli, this helped make Arma the French cookie capital of Kansas.
