I remember Winona in its hayday (when Moody was there every summer), then when it went downhill after it left, and now, after it was rebuilt. Many great memories from that town.

I've thought of picking up one of "Silly Bunday's" OJs for nostalgia purposes, but never have.
The museum is right by the swan pond. It's made to look like a mini Billy Sunday Tabernacle. They also sponsor vintage baseball tournaments played under 1800's rules several times each summer. There are several teams in the area that play.

Also, I graduated from college in that old Tabernacle, my wife graduated from High School in it.
