Mansfield, Ohio - Stuffed Animal Scenes, Elektro the Robot

Amazing place, in oddball Mecca, Mansfield. I went to see their large collection of Victorian anthropomorphic scenes (stuffed animals getting married, stuffed animal band, etc.). When we got there, the place was swarming with men from Westinghouse who had come to see the recently refurbished Elektro, the oldest U.S. robot (built by Westinghouse in the 1930s). The woman working shooed us into the room because, even though it wasn't yet open to the public, "it would be a shame to miss him." He's not a permanant exhibit, but I know he's been back since. The anthropomorphic displays were awesome, as were the other assorted goodies. [Brenda, 12/15/2005]
