rotag Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotag Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 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...
