ON THE COVER:

NEW ALBANY — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 1015 E. Main St., New Albany, presents the gallery opening of “Spring Awakening,” a showing of new works by Penny Sisto, on Sunday, April 3, at 2:30 p.m. The opening includes a reception and gallery talk by Sisto.

In naming the show, Sisto writes in a St. Paul’s news release: “Spring Awakenings. Rain is falling in the woods, our tin roof sounds like drumbeats ... this morning the wild turkeys surrounded the porch and the bow-shot young buck slept behind the garage ... thoughts turn to spring. I see the Native Americans who imprinted this land, and the immigrants — you, me everyone who was not native-born centuries ago on this wide land. I see lambs and shepherds, birds nesting and all of us turning to begin anew; spring awakening; hope; renewal.”

Art in the Parlor is a ministry of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The vision for the St. Paul’s Arts Council is to offer a sacred space where the community can gather and nurture their God-given creative spirit and be renewed by experiencing God through the arts. St. Paul’s lives out this vision through its mission of building relationships with artists, patrons, and guests through the ministries of hospitality and the arts.

Attendance at the Vintage Fire Museum in Jeffersonville doubled last year from 2014 numbers.

Visitors included a family from the Black Hills of South Dakota that made a detour in its travel itinerary after learning about the museum from a brochure during a stopover in Illinois. Folks from four countries — Canada, China, Italy and Germany — viewed the museum’s gleaming 15 pieces of 18th and 19th-century firefighting equipment and display cases of vin-tage equipment, such as lanterns and helmets. Kids learn fire safety lessons there, too.

The Vintage Fire Museum is the best-kept secret in Southern Indiana. Or at least it was.

The Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tourism Bureau is intent on changing that. The organization has partnered with the museum to help with publicity — remember the brochure discovered in Illinois? — and reaching new audiences, including motorcoach tours, as

well as helping museum officials tap into fund-raising resources.

“People don’t realize until they’ve seen it just how spectacular the collection is,” Curt Peters, chairman of the museum’s board of directors, says. “In a certain sense it helps put Southern Indiana on the map.”

On Saturday at the museum’s second-year anniversary party and Appreciation Day, the bureau will be honored for its efforts. Visitors will receive $1 off admission and can enjoy

door prizes, including a meal at a real-life Jeffersonville fire house.

You can read more about the museum in today’s cen-terpiece.

Looks like the cat is finally out of the bag.

EFFERSONVILLE — Driving through Illinois via the Black Hills of South Dakota last year, a family happened upon a brochure

advertising the Vintage Fire Museum in downtown Jeffersonville.

Its interest piqued, the family made a detour specifically to include the museum in its travel plans.

“They completely changed their itinerary and came to this area,” Curt Peters, chairman of the museum’s board of directors, said. “They came to this area specifically to see the fire museum.”

Peters’ story sums up the museum on Spring Street in a nutshell: a unique attraction that is

a vital cog in the Southern Indiana tourism wheel with a growing regional and nation-

al reputation.Oh, and its shiny artifacts of fire-fighting’s glorious past — combined

with fire safety lessons applicable to any timeframe — appeal to

audiences of all ages.On Saturday, the museum

will celebrate its two-year anniversary with its second annual “Appreciation Day,” which features $1 off admission, door prizes and food.

“It’s a great, nationally known collection of vintage fire equipment, and if any-

body hasn’t seen it they would be just bowled over at how beautiful these pieces are,” Peters said about circa 18th- and 19th-centu-

ry museum exhibits. “People don’t

realize until they’ve seen it just how

spectacular the col-lection is. In a certain

sense it helps put Southern Indiana

on the map.”

Exhibit A is the South Dakota family that wouldn’t have visited the region had it not been for the museum. The facility attracted 3,400 visitors last year from 23 states and four foreign countries: Canada, China, Germany and Italy. That might not sound like much until you consider that’s double the attendance from 2014, and more than six times what the museum drew three years ago when it was located in downtown New Albany.

“It’s one of those places that helps pull in people from not just one community but from this whole region,” Peters said. “It brings out the cooperative spirit that we really need to have on both sides of the river and on both sides of Silver Creek, and so forth and so on.”

The Clark-Floyd Counties Convention and Tour-ism Bureau has certainly taken notice. The organi-zation has partnered with the museum to help with publicity — remember the brochure discovered in Illinois? — and reaching new audiences, includ-ing motorcoach tours, as well as helping museum officials tap into fundraising resources.

LOUISVILLE – Spring was in

the air recently as a sold out crowd

joined the Kentucky Derby Festival

to unveil elements of its upcoming

festivities, including the 2016 Of-

ficial Poster and merchandise line. The first Official KDF event of the New Year — Festival Unveiled pre-

sented by Citizens Union Bank and

support us,” Peters said. “They’ve been extremely beneficial to us.”

The bureau will be honored during Saturday’s festivities. Cindy Nevitt of Derby Dinner Playhouse will give a presentation at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. recognizing bureau officials.

“It’s a unique venue,” Luann Matt-son, communications director at the bureau, said. “It’s been a very good tourism asset for people who can come in and learn a few things but also have some fun with it.”

Visits often include hands-on experiences.

“Curt’s tours are always fun and he lets people interact with things as much as he can,” Mattson said. “He’ll simulate a bucket brigade or get people to sit up on one of the old fire engines and do the hand-crank siren.

“I always like to tout it because you can go and interact with it.”

The interaction includes fire safety lessons taught to area children through a program with the New Albany Parks Department.

“That’s just a very special thing to share with them,” Peters said. “A lot of times these children educate their parents on fire safety and things they need to do, like having planned routes out of the house and having a meeting place outside.”

Still, the stars of the show are the 15 pieces of vintage firefighting equipment, gleaming with brass and copper fixtures and gold-leaf letter-ing, as well as display cases with various items, such as helmets and lanterns.

“People are fascinated by some of the engineering aspects, they’re fas-cinated by the beauty of the pieces,” Peters said.

Visitors can thank New Albany fire engine enthusiast Fred Conway, who displayed his collection in the lobby of his business, Discount Labels, before opening a museum called Vintage Fire Engines, Inc., on Mount Tabor Road in 1999. After Conway’s death a few months later the collec-tion was locked away.

In September 2010 the collection rose from the ashes after the Friends of the New Albany Fire Museum

purchased the pieces and put them on display at the former Coyle build-ing on Spring Street in New Albany. In 2012, the group adopted a new name — the Vintage Fire Museum — and opened the new location at 723 Spring St. in Jeffersonville in 2014.

The museum is surrounded by planned development:

• The city of Jeffersonville’s nearby gateway project at 10th and Spring streets, which includes pro-posed retail centers, three restaurants and a hotel;

• a planned $30 million mixed-use retail building with more than 150 residential units and a public access parking structure with 585 spaces near Big Four Station park;

• a Towneplace Suites hotel at Mulberry and Maple streets;

• a vision to transform the nearby

Michigan Street corridor into an arts and cultural district, a walkable connection between booming Spring Street and the gateway property at 10th Street.

The museum is mulling growth of its own.

“We are enthusiastically exploring the possibility of adding a large room that could be used for receptions, birthday parties, things like that,” Peters said, adding that the facility boasts a new kitchen where pulled pork sandwiches will be made for Saturday’s celebration. “We are abso-lutely delighted with the location and what’s happening around us.”

If Peters has his way, the Vintage Fire Museum will be at the center of it all.
