Rare Footage of Harmar Station Model Railroad Museum Marietta Ohio Part One!
When I was three back in 2001, we visited a model railroad museum in Marietta's historic Harmar Village called Harmar Station! The owner and operator of the wonderful museum was the late Jack Moberg, he had a huge collection of O Gauge Trains in the museum. Sadly the museum did not last long, on New Years Day 2002 the museum closed and the trains were sold to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad for their Model Train museum! There will be more footage on the way, enjoy this rare footage of model railroading's past in Southeast Ohio!

Opening of the Harmar Railroad Bridge
As part of the Harmar Days Streets Festival in Marietta, Ohio, the Harmar Railroad Bridge was opened for a few moments. The mechanism is not motorized and the bridge turning is accomplished with human power. I apologize for the sometimes soft and sometimes out-of-focus video. I realized after I shot the video that I had set the focus to manual.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ohio Army National Guard is a part of the Ohio National Guard and the Army National Guard of the United States Army. It is also a component of the organized militia of the state of Ohio, which also includes the Ohio Naval Militia, the Ohio Military Reserve and the Ohio Air National Guard. The Ohio Army National Guard consists of a variety of combat, combat support and combat service support units. As of September 2010, its end strength exceeded 11,400 soldiers. Its headquarters is the Beightler Armory in Columbus, Ohio. Many units conduct Annual Training at Camp Grayling, Michigan.
On May 4, 1970, Guard units infamously opened fire onto a crowd of both Vietnam War protestors and simple bystanders on the campus of Kent State University, killing four and wounding nine others, an event known as the Kent State shootings. The President's Commission on Campus Unrest concluded that the Guard's actions were unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable.

Pronounce This: Pennsylvania Names
No, Californians. Versailles is not a place in France…
Maybe if you’re lucky enough to be from Pennsylvania, pronouncing place names like Schuykill and Chillisquaque is as easy as pie. Well, it’s definitely not for these six clueless West-Coasters. Watching them try and fail (MISERABLY) is totally hilarious. Yet another reason to be proud to be from the Keystone State.

SUMMARY
=======
The Midwestern United States, also referred to as the American Midwest, Middle West, or simply the Midwest, is one of four census regions of the United States Census Bureau (also known as Region 2). It occupies the northern central part of the United States. It was officially named the North Central Region by the Census Bureau until 1984. It is located between the Northeastern United States and the Western United States, with Canada to its north and the Southern United States to its south.
The Census Bureau's definition consists of 12 states in the north central United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The region generally lies on the broad Interior Plain between the states occupying the Appalachian Mountain range and the states occupying the Rocky Mountain range. Major rivers in the region include, from east to west, the Ohio River, the Upper Mississippi River, and the Missouri River. A 2012 report from the United States Census put the population of the Midwest at 65,377,684. The Midwest is divided by the Census Bureau into two divisions. The East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region. The West North Central Division includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, and South Dakota, several of which are located, at least partly, within the Great Plains region.
Chicago is the most populous city in the American Midwest and the third most populous in the entire country. Other large Midwestern cities include (in order by population): Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Wichita, Cleveland, St. Louis, St. Paul, Cincinnati, Madison, and Des Moines. Chicago and its suburbs form the largest metropolitan statistical area with 9.9 million people, followed by Metro Detroit, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Greater St. Louis, Greater Cleveland, Greater Cincinnati, the Kansas City metro area, and the Columbus metro area.
