Analysis Of Carousels In Leavenworth

The museum representatives were very nice and helpful. Entering the Charles H. Wright museum, my fiance and I were stopped by a cameraman who worked at the museum. The cameraman was very welcoming, encouraging, and persistent. Entering the D.I.A, the representatives at the desk were very respectful and understanding. Admission was free to the D.I.A for all Wayne County residents; however; I forgot my state I.D at home and the lady was kind enough to accept an old check stub as proof that I resided in Wayne County. Both museums were very clean and quiet, with the exception of the kids who were enjoying the moment. Comparing the two, my most favorite exhibit would have had to be the slave ship I mentioned at the Charles H. Wright museum. The slave ship is more than an exhibit, it’s like two minutes in a slave’s shoes. Walking through the dark ship, I could slightly imagine and empathize the life of slaves on that ship. My least favorite thing was a picture that I’ve attached to the essay. The picture is of a black slave beating another slave while the Master’s watched. Though the image may represent the truth, I’m not a big fan of ugly truths - especially when they don’t compare to the bigger

Amusement parks are in the umbrella of the hospitality industry. One of its goals is to provide entertainment for all guests. It has been that way since the beginning and has been advancing ever since. If anyone had to say it the best, it will have to be the father of the amusement parks, Walt Disney. “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy” (GoodReads). He understood that how important amusement parks are, how keeping the original charm that the guest grew to love and advancing that park to make the guests continue to enjoy the park for years to come. Understanding the past, present and future of the amusement park will show how these parks have lasted for years and years.

During the second to last week of summer, I traveled with my family to Cedar Point. Cedar Point is a sprawling amusement park with a wide variety of thrill rides, roller coasters, water slides, and entertainment. The park is located near Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio. It is the second oldest amusement park in the United States, as it opened 1871. Cedar Point is considered by many to be the “Roller Coaster Capital of the World” because of its record breaking seventy-one thrill rides which includes a total of sixteen roller coasters. I had been to Cedar Point two times before but this was my first time going back in three years. I was excited for the trip because there were many new rides and coaster that I had not

The museum had many more items of interest, including a writing room with oil lamps from 1000 B.C. to the first electric lamp of 1879. A fashion room held clothing trends from 1910 to the 1970’s. A room was also preserved to provide spectators a look at an original classroom. The two hour visit to Peteetneet Museum was both enjoyable and educational, the guide bursting with stories and information. It was impossible to leave without a love and appreciation for those that have settled this great

In the Pioneer exhibit, the museum patron can walk down a small wooden plank sidewalk with a few business exhibits on both sides where the patron can look into each window and see examples of businesses that include various items typically seen during the 1800s, including a doll shop that exhibits the different varieties of the beautiful dolls dressed up in

From the amazing museums to the beautiful gardens, adrenaline filled amusement parks, the adventurous wildlife exhibits known as zoos; Ohio has everything you could ask for. My favorite attraction has to be the Rock and Roll Hall and Fame and Museum. There are so many unique features about this museum, I wouldn’t know where to begin. The tower on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame supports a dual-triangular-shaped glass “tent” that extends onto a 65,000-square foot plaza that makes up the main entrance. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also opened a library and archives which holds the most comprehensive repository of materials related to the history of rock and roll.

There are twenty restored railroad cars and locomotives for you to admire, many of which you can climb aboard. In the dining car, you’ll discover how luxurious travel used to be. The place settings of fine china and elaborate menus are a far cry from today’s typical travel fare of peanuts and pretzels. But if the dining car makes you long for days gone by, seeing how the fruit grower’s refrigeration car was cooled with large blocks of ice hauled in through the ceiling will make you appreciate our modern day conveniences. The Pullman sleeper car is a crowd favorite; just beware that it sways in a very realistic manner. This particular exhibit is not wheelchair accessible, but there are lifts that provide access to other raised viewing areas and railroad

The museum provides a place for the family to have a hands-on experiece with science and have creative learning moments with technology, art, engineering and math. Kids can take on the challenge of engineering their own projects with the help of the

The West Georgia Museum of Tallapoosa is a blast from the past for most of the older generation while the younger generations get to see how their grandparents or great grandparents got to live long before they were born. The overall theme of the museum is honoring and memorializing the old city of Tallapoosa. When exploring the little museum, there are displays of old stores and work offices such as a dentist office or a doctor’s office display from the 1800’s. These displays are interesting to look at because most of the stuff on display in each of these rooms are actual items from that time or very close to that era. When viewing these rooms, there is a button viewers can press which activates a narrator to tell them what they are viewing

On February 7th we visited the Lane County Historical Museum. Faith Kreskey, the exhibits curator, facilitated the tour, and gave us an inside look at her job and the challenges of the museum. Topics included: staffing, collections care, facilities, budgeting, the museum’s recent history, community partnerships, and exhibits.

If you happen to be in Alabama, on of the interesting stops is the Mobile Carnival Museum, the only museum of its kind, found in the historic Bernstein-Bush mansion on Government Street. The museum features mainly different displays of gowns, jewels, and trains worn by the Carnival queens in its local celebration, showing the evolution of what it was in the earlier times, to what it is today. Displayed are attires also of jesters who are known to accompany the queen during the Carnival. Novelty items such as posters, tableau designs, and ball invitations are also found in the museum. There are also different depictions of the Carnival from local artists. The Mobile Carnival Museum is an interesting stop whenever you're in Alabama. It's something

My second idea is to create a family oriented tour. This will include a story time with a focus on history of the 1800’s, when Belle Meade was in its prime. The tour will include an opportunity for guests to dress in costumes provided free of charge. A photographer will be on hand to take photographs that will be available for purchase

By working at Heartland Museum, I learned a tremendous amount about the field of public history, museum work, and also education as I created artifact summaries for an educational history trunk. The museum started in 1999 in order to tell a story about the local history. The museum mainly focuses on agriculture in North Central Iowa, and the museum preserves collections in order to celebrate small towns in rural Iowa.
