HEAVENLY INVOCATION FOR NEWFOUNDLAND

"World Class"

The Christopher Columbus Museum is dedicated to the Quincentennial of Columbus' daring voyage to the Americas in 1492.

The 3,000 square feet of displays present a broad collection of diverse and unique items that bring to life the period from which Columbus burst forth.

Dan and Rose Amato began the collection in 1981 for the purpose of creating a 500 year anniversary ceremonial display in 1992.  The collection has continued to grow and includes pre-Columbian and post-Columbian items.

The Museum includes a library, prints, silks, glassware, paper, cloth, statues, tapestries, pottery, wood, lithographs, and metals.  With over 2,000 items,  the displays instill an understanding of the forces that invigorated Christopher Columbus to take on his voyages of discovery.

WORLD'S FIRST
FERRIS WHEEL

*Extraordinary Displays*

Chicago's 1893 World Columbian Exposition celebrated the 400th anniversary of the "Discovery of America".  The United States intended to show the world that it had become a world class nation.

The Ferris Wheel, an engineering masterpiece, became the symbol of the fair.  Built to rival the 1889 Eiffel Tower,  the world's first Ferris wheel was 250 feet in diameter and could carry 2,160 people in its 36 steel cars.   Fifty cents purchased a three revolution ride.  Each revolution took twenty minutes.

The Christopher Columbus Museum displays a 1/50 scale model of the wheel and a 1/12 scale model of a car,  both built by Duane B. Anderson of Columbus, WI.  Ship models include 1/24 scale model of Santa Maria from the Smithsonian, Nina from the National Geographic and Pinta from Spain 1992. Also displayed are 3D views, and a variety of photos, books, drawings and many souvenirs.

The Ferris Wheel was again erected at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition which was also the site of the first Olympics held in the United States.  After the Exposition the wheel was scrapped.
