Three Rivers Festival 2008
We set up in the old city hall, which is now the
museum. It
still has the old jail cells in the basement,
a great attraction
for kids. There is a display of the Wabash-Erie Canal and of the
railroads.
In 2008, we set up in the old courtroom, which has plenty of room
for our modules, plus an area where
Blane gave a talk on the
history of the railroads in the Ft. Wayne area.
Mounted on the skyboards are many historical pictures of
Monroeville, IN, which is modeled below them.
Most people just come to see the trains run. That should
be our club motto!

Photos adorn the skyboard, of Monroeville and the
interurban line represented by the track nearest
the skyboard.
