"Discovery Play!" A non-profit historical preservation society. (A wholly owned subsidiary of Morrow Industries)

A hands on museum for children of all ages! Good for school outings, home school projects, and family outings for kids that love machines (Moms and Dads too!)

Come see windmills, water pumps, steam powered machines of all sorts, see how tools were made in the last century! Live demonstrations of horse shoeing, wagon rides, and many exhibits that cna be touched, turned, and made to run!

"Discovery Play!" is a PR operation for Morrow Industries and operates both as an educational endowment and a tax write off. Bruce knew the failure rate of many high tech portions of the infrastructure. Bruce also knew how important it was to have people who knew how the old ways worked. So this set up helped the Morrow Project locate people with the passion and the knowledge. Didn't hurt that MP personnel could rotate in and receive hands on training themselves. Lastly the "Discovery Play!" center was situated away from probable nuclear targets and still within large urban centers. This is intended to bridge the gap between the loss of life/infrastructure and the arrival of aid/services.

Coal/wood fired boilers turn generators. Steam drives a sawmill. A foundry can cast parts. A blacksmith(s) can forge tools. It is the core to rebuild with providing one has the people and the structure is not destroyed or looted.

Typically there is no cache here. Though possibly shelters under exhibits and an outrageous amount of coal and a charcoal operation in onsite storage.
