0:49
fantastic old theater the new moon still
0:53
has the template for the coming
0:55
attractions the marquee the lights -
0:59
illuminated and it appears as if at one
1:03
point it became a video store newer
1:06
generations might not know what a video
1:09
drop box is or was but I remember oh
1:12
yeah I remember and notice at the
1:16
pinnacle at the very tippy top of the
1:19
neon there is a moon made out of metal
1:24
Wow check out these beauties as well
1:27
that old laundromat sign and a
1:30
refrigerator business fascinating relics
1:34
of the past to say the least and this
1:37
decaying wouldn't painting welcoming us
1:39
to downtown and depicted in that
1:41
artistic rendition is this old mill
1:46
built in 1873 it's the only one of its
1:50
kind anywhere in the state that still
1:54
has its original equipment inside this
1:56
room pancake flour was packed up into
1:59
bags look at the wall and the old school
2:02
calendars that still remain there I
2:05
can't get any closer I'm behind a piece
2:07
of glass and the locked door the patent
2:10
on this machine is 1888 long before I
2:14
was even a glimmer in my parents eyes er
2:16
they were even a glimmer in their
2:18
parents eyes people were working right
2:20
here at this station hear the sound of
2:24
rollers
2:57
there are three flights of stairs you
2:57
can climb to reach the top pretty
3:01
incredible and the machine downstairs
3:04
that is making the roller noise it's not
3:08
stopping it's not turning off this is
3:10
called a planned sifter the flour would
3:14
pop out of those little tubes there and
3:16
this would shake back and forth at least
3:21
that's my uh NEX pert opinion the noise
3:24
finally stopped it was like a pretty
3:26
good tenor 15 minute audio loop this
3:29
machine was retired in 1916 after 43
3:33
years of work and in that time period
3:37
it created 700,000 bushels of grain and
3:42
here's a display of some of the finished
3:44
products that came out of this location
3:46
itself that place was impressive most in
3:50
Kristy there's a really interesting
3:52
story that has morphed into quite the
3:55
urban legend on the outskirts of town
3:56
involving Michael Landon from Little
3:59
House on the Prairie Bonanza and highway
4:01
to heaven in 1962 he was either visiting
4:05
or doing an appearance at this
4:08
fairground and after a full day of fun
4:10
he meandered directly across the street
4:12
for some humble accommodations at little
4:17
motel and this is the room now it's room
4:19
9
4:20
but it used to be room number 10 and
4:21
they have completely remodeled it they
4:24
patched the hole in the wall evidently
4:26
there was a fight he was wrestling in
4:28
here and he put the opponent's head
4:31
through the wall and there was a big
4:33
hole but it's gone now but this is where
4:36
the legend you can whoa look at that
4:41
that truck had a bull skull mounted on
4:43
the front not sure if it was real or
4:45
fake the owner at the motels that when
4:48
they remodeled
4:49
he took the chunk of the wall with the
4:50
hole in it and gave it to the previous
4:53
owner who wanted it as a souvenir
5:06
kind of from all over I travel around
5:06
the RV and you've nicknamed your little
5:09
scooter the chariot what's that right
5:12
there
5:12
as they made them a couple years in a
5:14
Minnesota book they quit important
5:16
sizzle how long have you been collecting
5:17
all this fifty-five years it started
5:23
1955 is when you put your first Bell out
5:25
here the one that started off the
5:26
collection was his old school bell
5:28
that's the first one he put here and now
5:32
it has grown how many do you have total
5:36
200 at bottom roll you could be from
5:39
country to country church every cent on
5:42
all these here on the bottom big one and
5:46
they didn't ask guys over-reported lady
5:48
and these here he clipped no then they
5:53
come from real wood one mill
5:55
from the windmill the tail stayed out
5:57
all the time and they had these on to
6:00
change that cleats in the wheels oh it
6:02
opened shuttin eclipse made that one all
6:05
time and then 1913 they made that one
6:10
over there
6:11
see that's a dry move it would rain over
6:14
by the women right here that's a dry
6:17
moon facing that direction water roll
6:20
male hours now okay so a dry moon phases
6:22
that way at a wet moon phases the other
6:24
way you can hear that three miles so if
6:26
you were to ring that your neighbors
6:28
three listen again three miles away with
6:32
here in the form of four so it whatever
6:34
the number on top signifies the distance
6:36
but different companies in Estes 26
6:39
that's the diameter on the bottom 26
6:42
miles you can hear that Bell 26 that's a
6:45
different company that's 26 inches in
6:47
diameter okay so sometimes it's a
6:50
diameter and sometimes it's the
6:51
difference so if you were to fully ring
6:56
that very hard you would hear that for
6:58
three miles

the town of Taylor has 84 of these
11:05
wooden structures painted black and
11:07
white they call them the villagers and
11:10
as interesting of an ideas this is you
11:14
kind of get a little twilight zone vibe
11:16
almost like ghosts of the past have come
11:21
back to haunt the community dr. Kerr
11:25
gone to da-da-da-da-da-da
11:27
the villagers around every corner they
11:32
lurk some of them with farm animals and
11:36
some with cute little puppy in all
11:40
honesty it is a pretty neat idea it
11:43
