Jaredland

Jaredland is tourist curiosity located in Hobart, Indiana. Opened in 1999, it is a complex of culturally distinct artifacts and gardens. physically located at the gateway to the Nature District of the city of Hobart which also includes Robinson Lake, the Oak Savannah Trail, and the Burr Oak Savanna Nature Preserve. The Grainer Forest Preserve, closest at hand, is only a few steps away. However, to wholly share the fable: it is a particularly curious tale of how Jaredland came to be once must understand early 21st century concepts of quantum entanglement, for Jaredland is a cultural artifact of this age. Jared Riddle concept of Jaredland emerged from visits to a local theme park entitled Enchanted Forest at U.S. 20 and Ind. 49, as well Wisconsin’s House on the Rock and Walt Disney theme parks in the United States, Nauvoo, Illinois, the Vatican City State, the Colosseum in Rome, Machu Picchu in Peru and Nikko, Japan’s Edo Wonderland Folklore As anyone who’s been there can attest, it is quite close in style to Neverland and, practically, design-adjacent to Wonderland, also being about halfway between Fairyland and Scaryland, a penny’s dreadful-land indeed. The Land of Oz isn’t all that far away as a model, and so, you see, the spot can be found quite easily, despite being secured in a rather run-of-the-mill, working-class-type-dwelling. And, yet, to completely tell the tale, the oddest occurrence is that all of these spots have wound up in the same place at the same exact moment. This isn’t rather hard to grasp, for these prospects are ideas and beliefs rather than addresses or localities. Jaredland is a wondrous place, the creation of the host’s own eccentric yet august taste, and though the exterior suggests an ordinary dwelling; this is a gateway, a portal that leads to Olympus; the very court of heaven.

Found within the United States, not too far from the shore of the Great Lakes, in present-day Indiana, is Jaredland, the largest entanglement hub instituted in the entire magical world. Essentially, an undetectable extension charm, Jaredland is best pictured as Mary Poppin’s carpet bag or Newt Scamander’s suitcase amplified to the most utterly infinite possibilities. Concealed within the property confines of a suburban neighborhood, magical folk might find endless portkeys and pixie dust; a fireplace connected to the floo-network, vanishing cabinets, charmed wardrobes, ruby slippers, rabbit holes, and skullports; magical broomsticks and umbrellas, jinni lamps, dragons, winged-horses, and unicorns; stations for the enchanted travel, along with numerous enchanted trees connected to the underground. To be clear, rather than being merely a transportation hub, where individuals travel elsewhere, Jaredland is quantum entangled. Through an ancient enchantment of most extraordinary implications, and, feasibly, scientifically explained by means of wiggly-quantum-physics-hologram-black-hole-spooky-action, Jaredland is, in all perceivable actuality, altogether every magical location at once, and yet, even in this state of myriad-being, individual guests are not muddled, but freely able depart to the map point locations of desired destinations at any time.

Authenticity of the collections Jaredland, the Museum of Imperfecta’s curated collection features original works and reproductions throughout several intimate galleries including the Sanctuary, the Chamber of Exhaustion, and the Main Gallery. Original Works include Lori Jackson’s ‘Don’t Worry Kitty I Won’t Let You Get Wet’ and Charlie Cole’s ‘Dunelight’. Reproductions span from Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware and John Atkinson Grimshaw’s Spirit of the Night. Additionally, over 57 tikis can be found on property. However, some of the seeming artifacts at Jaredland are real, but many are not what they seem: depending on one's point of view one could call them tall tales, fakes, replicas, or original and imaginative creations in a historical style.
