Who's Who
Unidentified. My guess is that they are the same people who took a tour of Bethany College.
Story
People are on an overlooking ledge. Possibly this was a side trip while the Petersen relatives were visiting Bethany College.
This appears to be the mill dam and sluice of the Smoky Valley Roller Mill near Lindsborg, Kansas.

- "The present Smoky Valley Roller Mill was built in 1898 to replace an earlier mill which had been destroyed by fire. Originally water powered, the mill was later converted to steam power and then to electricity. Now a part of the McPherson County Old Mill Museum complex in south Lindsborg, the mill is put into operation once a year during the annual Millfest celebration in early May".
