Penn at Reading, Penna., and reaching the crest they saw a beautiful panorama of 200 years of American Life laid before them. It sure had the appearance of miniatures at 800 ft. above sea level. Laurence said to his brother Paul, 'Let us start to build little houses as they look from here to tell the life of the individual home life of America to the coming generations.' After all these years as a hobby, Roadside America is credited as a shrine to American Life the world over. Be prepared to see more than you expect. You will be amazed. Every true red-blooded American should see the display. Especially the children who will someday carry the flag and torch of destiny for freedom. Bring in your camera.
