Wow. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been blogging about my road for a whole year now. It’s just amazing to me that what started as a solo trip out here in cyberspace has turned into a journey full of friendly faces, some familiar, and some that I’ve met along the way.
Here’s a look back at some of my favorite pictures from the past year. (You knew Grand View Point would be first. Right?) :)
Thanks to all of you for traveling with me. Hope to see you again soon, on the road…
This post is the second part of my visit to the Massillon Museum.
My favorite thing of all at the museum was Immel’s Circus. I mean, wow, all the pieces were carved by hand and most of them were carved by Dr. Immel himself! I certainly wouldn’t have that kind of patience.
And so, without further delay is a slideshow of this amazing circus…
Click here to find out more information about the circus which was carved by Dr. Robert M. Immel, a native of Massillon.
And because I forgot to mention this in my last post, I’ll let you know that the Massillon Museum is located at 121 Lincoln Way East, Massillon, OH 44646. Their phone number is 330-833-4061 and they are open Tuesday thru Saturday from 9:30 to 5 and on Sundays from 2-5. If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop by.
So until next time, here’s to Dr. Immel, Harvey, and Oscar, and here’s to you!
I finally made it to the Massillon Museum yesterday! Because the slideshow gods aren’t with me today, I’m going to divide this into two different posts. This first post will be about the museum except for Immel’s Circus and the second post will be on Immel’s Circus alone.
Following are quite a few pictures from the current exhibit on the first floor. I loved looking at all of the old dresses and was surprised to find that a few of them were actually new! See if you can guess which ones are ‘modern’ and which ones aren’t. (Hint: the information sheets provided are included for some of the dresses and all of the new ones so that you can tell for sure.)
Next I went upstairs to the second floor.
I really liked the Massillon Tigers exhibit, although, I wasn’t very good at the photo opportunity and I certainly don’t match up to a football player. 
Here’s a little slideshow of the room that the circus is housed in…
Next I went down to the lower level where I met Harvey and Oscar.
There were footprints to show me the way!
Here’s Harvey and his regiment.
I loved this next picture. The caption says that it’s a reunion of all the soldiers with a painting that they had commissioned of Harvey so that he would always be with them when they assembled as a group.
This is Oscar. (I don’t think he’s a grouch!)
So, stay tuned for my next post from the Massillon Museum featuring Immel’s Circus!
