well, i had today off & im still in my off-season. being strapped for cash, i decided to go to a local museum that was FREE (they do accept donations thought). so i thought id let everybody in on the area i come from with this trip report.

i come from a town called Shelbyville Indiana. some of the famous things we are known for is that some of the native's (Mostly Dead) were famous. we had the author who wrote the book "Bear's of Blue River", James Pierce who played the original "Tarzan", me kettle from the "Ma & Pa Kettle" series, & the world's tallest woman Sandy Allen.

Just a pre-warning, i took a bunch of photo's; so the next several post will be of pictures. Enjoy...

...& my camera died here, right before i could get a picture of an outhouse. there was also a school house & downstairs, there was a quilt exhibit.

hope you enjoyed the photo's & if you get over to my neck of the wood's, swing by & check this out in person.

here is a link to there website for hours of operation, location, & added information:

I do not go to too many adult museums...mostly just children's museums.

Thanks for sharing...it looks like a nice museum.

By the way I have always liked Marjorie Main...she seems like she would have been nice "in person.

Thanks for sharing, I liked the train exhibit!

while i was there, i kept noticing a strong perfume in certian area's of the museum; but when i was near other people, i couldnt smell it. i wonder if it was a built in smell or one of the staff had laid it on thick...

Thanks! That was nice...and I'll definitely stop by next time I'm around that area!

forgot to add, there is a nice article @ this link about the place:

Seems like a cool place to visit.

Funny thing when I first saw the title to this thread I was thinking this
