The Western Gateway Heritage State Park in North Adams, MA, describes itself as:
A former railroad yard, this urban park uses historical artifacts and exhibits to bring to life the controversial and danger-filled construction of the Hoosac Tunnel, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century.
What’s there not to love about that? But as if celebrating the Hoosac Tunnel wasn’t already more than enough, at 3pm this Saturday (3rd March 2012) they’re giving an “illustrated lecture” on the Voynich Manuscript at their Visitors Museum. This is part of their regular series of ‘Mystery Night’ talks: last week’s was on the fabulous Amber Room.
No word yet on who’s giving the talk or if it’s just Wikipedia on a projector *sigh*, but let’s hope for the best, eh? 😉 If you’re not too far away and do drop by, let us all know how it went!
As an author of the Wiki article, not to mention CotV, you’ve moulded the opinions of millions.
My my!
Just viewed their Tunnel blog. Not bad! I’m kinda wondering how the VM figures in their museum. So, if they have an online “show”, I’ll be tuning in via the same mode of communication as yours. Keep your fingers crossed as far as maybe some fresh views.
BTW, I won’t be posting anything more on your VM pages until AFTER your next conference. Give my regards to Rene, Reed, et al.
Hmm, I wonder if the North Adams State Park folks may have “inherited” some of Kircher’s books.
