The Official Center of the World in Felicity, CA

Yesterday (Sunday) we visited "The Official Center of the World" in Felicity, CA. This place is directly across the freeway from our RV park. The idea comes from a children's book named, "COE, The Good Dragon at the Center of the World". Felicity was named after the owner's wife. There are dozens of marble slabs there being engraved to depict the History of Arizona; The History of California; Early Aviation; A Korean War Memorial and Part I of the History of Humanity. One of the marble artists was working while we were there and it is amazing to see how he etches the pictures from a small example. There is also a pyramid that houses the "Center of the World" plaque, a section of the original Eiffel Tower winding staircase, a chapel and a sundial.

The highway sign at our exit.

This is the Chapel On

The Hill. They brought

in tons of dirt to build

this chapel on.

This is a section of the

original staircase in the

Eiffel Tower in Paris. It

was the steel that Mr.

Eiffel installed there in

the late 1800's. It was

replaced in the 1990's.

This is the arm of the sundial.

It is a 3-D bronze replica of

Michelangelo's "Arm of God"

painted on the Sistine Chapel.


The sundial.


The dot in the center of the plaque

is The Center of the World. :-)

The 1st marble slab in

the History of Arizona

section.

This is the section of marble

the artist was working on. The

large picture on the bottom

right of the slab is the same

as the small picture on the

bottom right of the paper.

This is the pyramid that has the

marker for the Center of the World

on the center of the floor inside.
