Mike J Gosnell Tours Pullman
The 1998 fire in the Pullman Clock tower destroyed the fantasy for many who wished that they had the opportunity to climb those stairs and view the clock mechanism and bell. We are fortunate to have the recently restored black and white film of someone who did climb those stairs. Mike J. Gosnell (now Sr.) with his Fujica Z2 in hand made this film in the late 1960's. Join him on his tour of Pullman. (The film is about 10 minutes long with the Clock Tower in the last half)

THE PULLMAN NATIONAL MONUMENT VIES FOR GRANT IN PARTNERS IN PRESERVATION: NATIONAL PARKS, A CAMPAIGN CREATED BY AMERICAN EXPRESS AND THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Welcome to Pullman National Monument
Boy Scout Troup #19 (Normal, Illinois) visits Pullman National Monument. Visiting a National Monument is one of the achievements for award of the Boy Scout "Citizen of the Nation" merit badge. ...Among the objectives each Scout pursuing this badge must achieve is the follow "Do TWO of the following:
a. Visit a place that is listed as a National Historic Landmark or that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tell your counselor what you learned about the landmark or site and what you found interesting about it.
b. Tour your state capitol building or the U.S. Capitol. Tell your counselor what you learned about the capitol, its function, and the history.
c. Tour a federal facility. Explain to your counselor what you saw there and what you learned about its function in the local community and how it serves this nation.
d. Choose a national monument that interests you. Using books, brochures, the Internet (with your parent's permission), and other resources, find out more about the monument. Tell your counselor what you learned, and explain why the monument is important to this country's citizens."
Just in case you forgot what a monumental year this has been....
