YES! Shocked me I must say because I'd heard they were trying to figure out a graceful way to get rid of it. You know, I didn't look really carefully, but I think it was the complete model (of the old national monument) and people were definitely pressing the lights.
I used to study that model every time I hit the VC, and talk about it with my daughter who had been to many of the places with me but didn't really have the scope and scale of the place in her head. It seemed very popular when we were there!
Sorry, I missed this report as well. Thanks for the detailed write-up and pictures.
I, too, am amazed the maps still exists. I clearly remember when NPS was clearing out the old stuff when the VC was getting remodeled. I believe it was 2010-2011-ish time frame. I pleaded with PSR to take the map, and set it up in the general store there, but they really didn't have the room. I'm glad to hear it has survived. It gives me a reason to stop on this February, when we pass through on the way to my son's from Lost Wages.
My son did end up with 3 sets of the theater seats, which, amazingly are still in quite good condition.
