Description
Buster Keaton Birthplace Site - Kansas
Buster Keaton's birthplace site is on South Hill Street in Piqua, Kansas. The silent screen comedy legend was born Joseph Frank Keaton here on October 4, 1895. His parents, Joseph and Myra Keaton, were vaudevillians passing through the area with their travelling show, The Mohawk Indian Medicine Company, which also featured Harry Houdini when Myra went into labor and gave birth to Buster. The spot is now marked with a plaque and a small museum devoted to the screen comic.
