Mr. P. Explores... The Northern Ohio Railway Museum (Seville, OH)
In this episode of Mr. P. Explores, I head down to Seville, OH (Medina County) to check out the amazingly cool Northern Ohio Railway Museum, which is dedicated to acquiring, repairing and refurbishing old train cars, and most specifically, old interurban train cars, of many decades past. A huge assortment of beautiful cars are in various states of being brought back to their former glory here due to the hard, patient and diligent work of the members of the group! I stroll the grounds checking out the (in some cases) century old train cars in various states of renovation, take a ride on a completely refurbished interurban car and soak up the beauty of a far more elegant time in our history. Check it out, enjoy the trip and keep on exploring!
The NORM site:
Also, the Northern Ohio Railway Museum is looking for volunteers to work at the museum as well as do some summer painting (amongst other things to help renovate the cars!). Become a member and lend a hand in bringing an amazing piece of local (and American) history back to life!:

Seen at the ORM, 1966-1972
The Ohio Railway Museum was one of the pioneer operating railroad museums in the United States, and for a while in the late 1960s it was one of the premier operations. It was my good fortune to have been an active member during those years -- in fact I still think of the ORM as my home road. While most of my time on the property was spent in operations or working on projects I did find time to take 8mm movies and slides. I share the best of my movies here, and plan to share the slides another day.
1929 Painesville Ohio Memorial Day PARADE Flower Festival by Utopia Theater
Click the little gear to change your setting to HD 720 to see best quality.
In May 1929 in Painesville, Ohio, they had the Memorial Day Parade and Flower Festival, including the Pageant Queen and her attendants. The parade route goes past the Utopia Theater. This is an original film I own showing this parade. Perhaps some of this little kids are still alive!! (could be). This film has been shown in the Museum of the Lake County Historical Society. This is an original film, owned by me. All rights reserved.
This video was produced by Adam Smith, the owner of the original film. Smith is a former Pachyderm Keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. As part of his continuing interest in the history of Northeast Ohio, Smith has also written a book, Adam Smith's Pictorial History of Brookside Park and Cleveland's Public Zoo, from the beginning through the 1970s. He also wrote his memoirs as a zoo tour train driver, night watchman, and animal keeper in a book called My Life in the Cleveland Zoo. Neither book is published at this time.
As far as the Painesville parade, if a TV station ever wanted to broadcast portions of it, please contact and I will provide an HD 1080 MOV for you.
In this video you will find a piece by Schubert, when the children are dancing. This is Schubert - Scherzo No.1 in B-flat major, D.593. The recording Tom Pascale, provided as music for free download from
Mr. P. Explores... The Puritas Springs Cyclone Ruins
In this episode, we go into the ravines on the edge of the Cleveland Metroparks (Rocky River Reservation) to document what used to be one of America's most vicious and thrilling wooden roller-coasters, the PURITAS SPRINGS CYCLONE. Puritas Springs Park was the first amusement park on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1928, had a coaster built that would draw in people from all over the state in the form of the John Miller-built CYCLONE, which careened and twisted riders through the ravines that were adjacent to the park, overlooking the Rocky River Valley. According to the July 26, 1946 edition of the Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Police Department temporally shut down the Cyclone based on several accidents occurring over a 2-3 year period due to the rough nature of the ride. Still, many local kids got their street cred by riding the Cyclone in its day; bruises and headaches were part of the rite of initiation and bragging rights!
Sadly, the park closed in 1958 due to dwindling visitors and funds. A fire decimated the abandoned park several years later, including large chunks of the now silent Cyclone. Ever since that day, the skeleton of the once mighty coaster has slowly rotted and decayed in the woods of the ravines it once terrorized. In this video, we go to seek out what is left and document it before Mother Nature finishes the job...

Listening to Conductor Regis tell us about the original design of the streetcar, the one we rode on is electric. Ben mostly likes the seats!
John and I took the children to the Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway Museum to ride the electric streetcar (trolley) today! Ravyn had a blast, Ben just liked running around and Tesla slept and ate. This is a series of video's from our experience! If you are in or around Colorado Springs, it is really neat to go and visit, even if you don't ride the streetcar!

Anakeesta Gatlinburg TN Video Tour & Things to Know Before You Go
Anakeesta in Gatlinburg offers a unique outdoor experience that the entire family will enjoy.
WHERE TO PARK:
Anakeesta is conveniently located on the main road in downtown Gatlinburg. If you are staying in a nearby hotel you can walk to the entrance, or if you prefer to drive there is a public parking next to the ticket counter and the sky lift entrance. There are also a public parking garage located across the street at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.
CHONDOLA & SKY LIFT:
After purchasing tickets, the adventure begins with a scenic sky lift ride up 600 feet to the top of Anakeesta Mountain. The ride takes about 10 to 15 minutes and you can choose to ride in an open chairlift or enclosed 6 person gondla cabin.
The open chairlifts have a safety bar that comes down in front of you and the gondola cabins are great for strollers and they are wheelchair accessible (the cabins are 32? wide and 49? deep).
SHOPS & FOOD:
At the top of the mountain you'll arrive at Firefly Village where you can browse the shops, grab a bite to eat and walk the memorial trail which details the 2016 wildfires that burned parts of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and 10,000 acres of the Smoky Mountain National park.
There is plenty of seating areas and picnic tables available all with beautiful mountain views.
Insider Tip - Outside food and drinks are not permitted unless there is a specific dietary need. However, they have are reasonably priced options for food, drinks and even ice cream.
TREE HOUSE PLAYGROUND:
Kids will enjoy playing on the Anakeesta tree house playground which consists of a series of tree house buildings connects together by rope bridges and raised platforms. You can even climb a ladder up to a loft area in one of the tree houses.
There is a seating area conveniently located next to the playground so parents can sit and relax while their kids play. Bathrooms are located a short walk back down the path toward the shops.
TREETOP CANOPY WALK:
The entire family will want to experience the treetop canopy walk. During the walk you will be 40-60 feet above the forest floor as you make your way along a series of 16 hanging bridges and platforms. It's such a unique experience.
Each platform contains signage with interesting information and facts about the Smoky Mountains, local animals and nature.
Insider Tip - While most areas in Anakeesta are wheelchair accessible, the treetop canopy walk is not. It would also be difficult to push a stroller along the suspension bridges.
ZIP LINING:
Zip lining is another fun option while visiting Anakeesta, and the two side-by-side zip lines allow you to zip right next to your friends and family. There are a total of three zips and two locations where you can rappel off platforms for a controlled descent. There is an additional charge for zip lining and you can book your time online before you arrive or at the ticket counter when you arrive.
Insider Tip - Save time by completing the online waiver before you arrive, wear close toed shoes and if you have long hair pull it back into a ponytail.
LENGTH OF STAY:
Plan to spend at least 2 hours exploring all that Anakeesta has to offer and take advantage of the fact that your ticket is good all day. Meaning you can ride the sky lift up to the top of the mountain multiple times in the same day. Also, if you purchase your tickets after 3pm, you can get in free the following day.

Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Spanish: Gran Cañón), is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.

Reflections on the First Fifty Years of the Peabody Museum, 1866–1916
Curtis Hinsley, Regents’ Professor Emeritus of History and Comparative Cultural Studies, Northern Arizona University
The Peabody Museum was founded at a time of epistemological and political turmoil, seven years after the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and one year after the end of the Civil War. The chaotic decades following the war proved to be an era of unprecedented economic opportunity, but also a time of corruption, disillusionment, and oppression. In the world of instruction, museums held the promise of teaching not only scientific facts, but proper values as well; a museum of anthropology might serve a vital moral function in the emerging society. As Peabody director Frederic Putnam wrote in 1891: “Many an indifferent idler straggling into a well-arranged museum goes forth with new ideas and fresh interests” to enrich “an otherwise aimless and weary life.” In this lecture Curtis Hinsley will consider the hopes and intentions of the Peabody Museum in its early years.
Presented as part of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's 150th anniversary.
