Little Jerusalem

To give us an appreciation for what Jerusalem would have looked like in Jesus day, Grandpa Jimmy took us to an elaborate 1:50 scale model of the ancient city.  This model is based on the writings of 1st century historian Flavius Josephus who described the walled city in his writings.  It took 7 years to create this very impressive model of which pictures simply don’t convey.
