Bluefield Model Builder Keeps Family Faith and Craft Alive
Bluefield resident George Anderson Jr. nurtures hundreds of wheeled model scenes stored behind his Exitor Street home. He credits divine guidance for his craft, recalling a Morristown upbringing, wartime service, and a life rebuilt after a 1953 fire. The collection began from his daughter Angie’s 1980 colonial village project and grew into a family museum with workshops and a warehouse area. The Andersons share their work, garden harvests, and gifts with Bluefield Union Mission and neighbors.
