The Echo Circle at the old Lafayette Natural History Museum
Back in the day, my family would go to the old Lafayette Natural History Museum and Planetarium on a regular basis. Most of these trips were at night however. Because of this, I never knew about the echo circle near Girard Park Drive until later on in life.
For those not familiar with the echo circle, it is pretty cool. It is a 30′ circle with a raised hub in the center. If you stood on the edge of the circle and yelled towards the center, it would sound like you were in a huge tank.
Today, the circle is falling apart. I went out and measured it the other day because one day I am going to make one of these in my back yard. Yes, I AM that much of a geek.
