This police box is displayed in Hannibal Missouri during its annual Great River Steampunk Festival over Labor Day weekend each year.

A formerly common site in cities, the Police Box was the place where people in a city could get assistance. They started in the USA in the late 1800s and became very popular in England as the 20th century began.

A description from England:
"They were four feet square, and contained a small desk, a stool, electric lighting and a heater. A small compartment containing a telephone and first aid kit was accessible from the outside, and these were designed with public use in mind. These boxes were wooden, and cost £13 each to build."

(If you are a Dr Who fan, you may recognize this as a Tardis, used for dimensional travel.)
