COVER STORY: Hundreds of historic TV sets are on display at the Early Television Museum. They range from the vintage mechanical TVs of the late 1920s to the era of color televisions in the early 1960s.



SCENIC AMERICA: A light dusting of snow and seasonal sunlight provided a lovely natural canvass for our scenery feature at Caesar Creek State Park in southern Ohio.



ON A MUSICAL NOTE: Grand pipe organs are now a vanishing breed of musical instruments. But we located a collector who demonstrated the power and music of his proud posession.
FAMOUS FACES: Charlie Chaplin became popular in the silent movie era, but his fame has lasted nearly a hundred years. He was named one of Time Magazine's top 100 entertainers of the 20th Century.



TIME CAPSULE: This segment offers a look back on the transportation methods used to deliver the mail, from the Pony Express to air mail. Old film shows how the mail always got through. 
SEASONAL FEATURE: One of the longest-running model train exhibits anywhere continues its tradition in Cincinnati's Union Terminal, once a busy hub of rail travel. The display has been staged continually since 1946.
