Is Leland where Jim Henson was born or grew up? I should know, ive read a few books but I can't remember everything!

The two cities are only 12 miles apart, so it isn't a big deal.

Thanks for the info, I should have known that already!

Did you go to both cities while there? Did you go to Deer Creek and all that?

has the hospital got some kind of plaque to say that Jim Henson was born here?

I can't speak for Whatever, but the exhibit is set on the banks of Deer Creek. When I visited there was a display that they kept in the middle of the creek that depicted Kermit and other froggy friends. Very neat.

Kevin, since you're so close you should "hop" on down there. I highly recommend it. Ashley who is the currator is super sweet and would love to visit with you.

I took my great-grandchildren to the Jim henson Museum last year. I loved it.

I don't think that's there anymore either.
