Louisville, Kentucky: American Printing House for the Blind
We visited their museum which was founded in 1858. "Visitors can take a plant tour and visit the Callahan Museum which is housed in the 1883 section of the facility. Exhibits include historic, tactile books, maps and globes, and a collection of mechanical Braille writers."
This is how they do math!
It's a Brannan cubarithm slate:
Their typewriter:
Look what else you can do with Legos!
Louisville, Kentucky: The History Museum
This is a wonderful history museum.
I am not usually fond of history museums.
I would rather read a book or watch a documentary,
but this museum is an exception.
It doesn't bombard the visitor with too much information
which would not be easily remembered.
These are life sized figures in battle.
They are very life like.
This map is provides a wonderful visual showing the westward expansion in the United States.
