Herbert Allen Moore, an artist from Cynthiana,
Kentucky, bought the land and built the Wax Museum in 1970; then he started
making the wax figures to go in each display room.
Ms Alberta dressed the first 29 figures and worked
for Herbert Allen Moore from the ground breaking, until the Grand Opening. As
he would get a figure made he would take it to her home on Cherrywood Drive,
Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Ms Alberta would design and dress each figure.
After The Mammoth Cave Wax Museum was finished, J. C,
Jennings had a helicopter fly him over it so he could take a picture. The picture
was in about all the newspapers from Bowling Green to Louisville.
This is a picture of Herbert Allen Moore working on Grant; each hair was inserted by hand
and then the wax figure was given a haircut and style.
