Every bench has a story. How many times have you passed an empty bench, sat down and pondered the world's, or your own, problems? William M. Mills, an oilman from Pennsylvania, drilled over 400 oil and gas wells in his lifetime and built a home in Osawatomie, Kansas, USA. These benches are in the yard of that home, The Mills House, an historic building that is on the National Register of Historic places.
