Richmond is a city in and the county seat of Wayne County, Indiana; it has a number of claims to fame, like being where the very first motion picture was shown to an audience. Charles Francis Jenkins patented the Phantoscope projector in 1894-5. Thomas Edison later purchased and renamed a modified version of the Phantoscope as Edison's Vitascope, which he used to project motion pictures in New York City vaudeville theaters, ushering in the age of cinema. There is a rumor that Richmond, Indiana is the smallest city in the nation to have had a professional opera company and professional symphony orchestra (the orchestra still exists today, but the opera company doesn't). The city has a number of nicknames: “the cradle of jazz”; the “Mummy capital of Indiana” (two of Indiana's three mummies are kept here); the “lawnmower capital” (one of Richmond's first manufactured products); and the “Rose City” (it once grew many different varieties of roses).
