It provides an overview of the religion and also focuses on the House of David’s numerous businesses, including farms, cold storage plant, touring vaudeville showbands, amusement park, and its famous exhibition baseball team. Current preservation and restoration efforts at the colony are covered and the presentation includes many rare historic photographs, film and audio clips.
