Well, my name's Tony. I'm a machinist and musician from Tulsa. I'm 42 years old, a huge history buff, married to my sweetie for twenty years, one adopted daughter from Korea, and I must say there is no place on Earth like Silver Dollar City. I went there as a child, probably about 1974, and again in 1978. I remember the diving bell, a steam engine powered saw, the flooded mine, the train robbers, but most of all Herman's tree house. I stumbled across this site as I was searching for info on the status of the tree house. My family and I just got back from a visit to the park last week. As usual, it was magic. I'm certainly glad to meet up with you guys that feel the same way I do about the place. Makes me happy.
