Agnes Dunham's Nativity Scene - Dunlap, Iowa
Above is the Nativity Scene that most people remember, but the scene actually had very humble beginnings.  it took a lot of time and work to complete the figures, so my grandmother added to the scene each year, with the help of her sister, Evelyn.  Below are some photos of earlier versions of the Nativity Scene.
