Mr. History Post #3: The Babson Globe. I figured I’d do another one of these posts. Maybe I should rename them more as curiosities than history, but what the hell, plus being a cartographer for almost 30 years, this one speaks to me. Weighing 25 tons and with a diameter of 28 feet (8.5 meters), it was the world’s largest rotating globe when it was built in 1955 but now it’s 2nd place. Still pretty freaking big though! The last pic is me being Atlas helping them move to globe to its current location a few years ago (jk!)
