This museum tells the story of C.W. Parker who produced carousels (merry-go-rounds) in Leavenworth. From the charming videos presented to tour-goers, to the dizzying spin on one of the fastest carousels, this museum has it all. The museum is filled with carousel artifacts and history, and on display are four antique carousels. The major highlight being the 103 year old, hand carved, wooden carousel. Tour starts with an introductory video, then access to the museum artifacts, and finally a carousel ride. For free visitors can access certain areas of the museum, a gift shop, and the room with the large carousel to ride. There are several additional rooms that have an entry fee. If you have children, this new museum should be a 'must see', or
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
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
CENTRAL PARK, NY — The Rolex Central Park Horse Show's lineup will feature a major stud this year. Frederik the Great, a purebred Friesian stallion — the "world's most handsome horse" — will perform during an equestrian show at Central Park's Wollman Rink in September.
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
The Heritage Day’s event had its usual features. The park circle was filled with stands of venders and organizations. Most stands lined the sides of the two sidewalks, and some others were placed on the edges. These included classics, such as the Angelica Booster’s (the event organizers) food tent, the raffle tent, the town newspaper’s tent, the Amish baked products tent, and the tent that sells a lot of books. They were also met by some newer vender’s, such as the community radio stand (which has been making it’s stage previously at the farmer’s market event’s, held in the park on Saturdays in the summer). The town library opened up its museum section for viewing. The museum section of the library opens only a few days out of the year to display the
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
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 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
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
History is the foundation of everyone alive and deceased. Everyone in this world leaves a piece behind and marks the world in their own way. In history, important people who have done horrible and good things in this world have been recorded and displayed to children in schools. I mostly agree with the “The Politics of History by Howard Zinn” because it displays the fact that nearly every event in history has been done with a motive and has had consequences. A quote from Zinn’s work represents this is, “History is not inevitably useful.

There are three main channels for Cookie Craze. The first channel is a direct-to-consumer channel that consists of an on-site store at our bakery. This channel is expected to drive a considerable amount of business, probably the majority of our sales initially. The other two channels, both coming under the umbrella of "wholesale", are through grocery outlets and restaurants/coffee shops. The grocery channel will primarily consist of individually packaged cookies, and gift boxes of cookies, that the stores will sell at mark-up to their customers. Restaurants and coffee shops will make the cookies available to their customers as a menu item.
Based on many life experiences, people would say that life is funny as long as they have a positive attitude toward life. Life is funny if people know how to appreciate and cherish themselves. However, funny life does not always accompany with laughter, sometimes it accompanies with ludicrousness and sadness. The truth is that sometimes we laugh at something not because the things itself entertaining, but we think the things are ridiculous; we laugh viciously on some serious things which contradict our common sense, so we laugh. In this way, life is indeed funny too.
