The JELL-O Gallery – Le Roy NY

It’s “Staycation Destinations” on Family Life

The hometown of Jell-O brand gelatin continues to celebrate the century-plus of fun, wiggly food.

The Le Roy Historical Society intentionally chose a more-fitting name for its museum — this is an art gallery. As you’ll hear in this podcast, some of the most prominent displays at the Jell-O Gallery are the forms of colorful and vibrant marketing which introduced the product to the American public, and demonstrated the ease of making instant Jell-O … so simple even a child could do it.

Listen as well for other parts of the history, and other parts of the displays which focus on vehicles and a wider view of Le Roy’s history.

The Jell-O Gallery is at 23 East Main Street in Le Roy, which is about halfway between Batavia and Rochester.

 

Here is the winner of their 2024 Photo Contest on the Gallery’s Facebook page:

 

“Staycation Destinations” airs Fridays on Family Life during the Noon Report and 5 O’Clock Report.

Each week, all summer long, we map out a unique opportunity for you to discover somewhere unique, in New York or Pennsylvania — fairly close to home, and fairly affordable.

Family Life’s “Staycation Destinations” this week takes you to Somewhere Over the Rainbow!….

L. Frank Baum’s hometown — Chittenango, New York — has a claim to fame that draws together everyone from cowardly lions to scarecrows to tin men…. and your little dog too.

Baum wrote the book that inspired the 1939 Judy Garland movie “The Wizard of Oz”.  The “All Things Oz” Museum celebrates that legacy, and a century’s worth of so many more stage, literary and screen versions of the “classic American fairy tale”.

Museum Director Allison Lehr talks about the displays and archives available at this museum, once you step off of the Yellow Brick Road and into the building. Greg Gillispie asks her to talk about why Dorothy and her adventures in the Land of Oz have such a significant place in American culture.  (And it’s not just Americans either — visitors from multiple countries have dropped by this attraction in Madison County of central New York.)

 

The “All Things Oz” Museum has a website and multiple social media outreaches. [www.AllThingsOz.org] Its hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.  (The Museum and its Historical Foundation host an annual festival too — Oz-Stravaganza — typically in early June.)

 

   

 

“Staycation Destinations” is our weekly summer series, broadcast each Friday at noon on the radio and online, then posted to our News Podcasts page. Each offers a radio tour of a unique site in Pennsylvania or New York, fairly close to home, fairly inexpensive, and good for a potential day trip or longer visit by individuals, couples, families, friends or church groups.
