Put man back in jail

Thanks to the visitor who suggested we put the man back in the jail. He's here to frighten people again! #visitgriffith #griffithnsw #seeriverina #ilovensw #destinationnsw #seensw

One of my final activities in the role of curator at Pioneer Park Museum was to promote the return of the man in the jail.

Earlier this year I noticed a visitor had made an unusual request in the Visitor Book. After raising the topic at morning tea, I was surprised to learn there was a history of a mannequin scaring people who look in one of the two jails at the Museum.

It's a simple thrill and one that the volunteers added to their list of projects.

The video embedded above also nicely rounded off my time representing Pioneer Park Museum on Instagram, marking the 300th post.
