located near the Shenandoah Caverns in Virginia
July 12, 2023
Below: The two RV Gypsies drove past Earl's Place, which is located on the property of Shenandoah Caverns near The American Celebration on Parade. It is an Air-B&B that features 7 bedrooms and 3 baths plus an outdoor grill and fire pit. Of course the two RV Gypsies have NO reason to stay in an Air-B&B because they live and travel in their RV. But Karen Duquette likes to photograph as much as possible and provide as much information, history and photos to her viewers to help then travel and vacation in their own style.
Below: American Celebration on Parade is one of America’s most unique museums and offers an up-close experience with parade floats from famous national celebrations including Presidential Inaugural Parades.
But before entering the building, the two RV Gypsies enjoyed the outside area of The American Celebration on Parade building. They liked the flags and the Statue of Liberty. Also shown below is a close-up of the blue label hiding behind the tree on the right side of the building (which is the same as the blue label on the left side of the building).
Below: Lee Duquette stood by a Statue of Liberty (also shown in the above photo) to show its height.
Below: Entering the American Celebration on Parade Building, Karen Duquette immediately saw the giant Jester above the ticket entry booth.
Below: While waiting for the guided tour to begin, of course Karen Duquette had to take a bunch of photos of the entry lobby, starting to the right of the payment booth shown above.

Below: To the left of the payment booth, Karen Duquette photographed a drummer and the Seal of the Vice President of the United States, which hung on the wall next to the drummer.

Below: Then it was time for the guide to take the two RV Gypsies through the main room. But first, there were several things hanging on a wall that the guide talked about, but of course, Karen Duquette's interest was drawn to a characteristic drawing of Elvis on a float.
