    YOOOO I used to see the miniatures from the NAFC library all the time growing up!!! They used to be in the Carnegie building though (it was the old library as well) and I actually didn't know they were moved to the new one. Absolute art gem of the Midwest, and it's so cool to see someone on a trip to go see them lol

    Again, You have given us a wonderful film Roger! Growing up we took many trips around the US as my mother was a teacher and had the summers off. My parents explored our home state of Michigan and all of it's interesting things. I now wish that we would have gone to Indiana too! I am so happy that you have made these films! Thank you very much!

    I spent my early years (from age of 5-13) in Floyd county (Floyd Knobs)... I have not been back in decades. I find this very interesting as we had nothing of the sort when I was living there and I am (now) a life-long modeler myself. :)

    There used to be a miniature circus in Nashville, IN. I saw it many years ago when I was a child. I don't think it is there anymore. The one in French Lick looks a lot like what I remember in Nashville. Could it be the same one? If not, what happened to the one in Nashville? Any clues? BTW Nashville would be a great place for you to do a video!

    • @AdventureswithRoger
      @AdventureswithRoger  4 місяці тому

      I don’t remember a diorama at Nashville, but I do remember the Dillinger Museum. Have been trying to track down where all the artifacts went, after they were moved to a northern Indiana museum, and it also closed.
      Here’s a segment I did on Nashville:

      Are you thinking of “St Joseph’s Holy Family at God’s Country”? There is a huge rock with the 10 Commandments on those grounds, I filmed it for the segment below.
