The Duke Story

Road Trip, States, Tennessee


A couple of years ago when we were staying at this KOA, some folks staying near us told us about the fun they’d had at the Bush’s Beans Factory Museum. It’s been on “our list” ever since.

 The museum/visitors center shows a film not about Duke, the dog who knew too much, but about the history of the Bush’s general store and cannery business. There’s a virtual factory tour and many displays about the history of the mercantile and food industry over the last century and a quarter.

  

There’s a bit about historical preservation and a bit about needle crafts. Perhaps the most endearing part of this customer relations enterprise is that vistors get to go home with a photograph of themselves and Duke, the Bush family dog!

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
