The Stegosaurus fiberglass model built for Sinclair Dinoland Pavilion Âat the New York Worldâs Fair in 1964 and 1965 by Louis Paul Jonas Studios in Churchtown in ÂColumbia County, New York, later went to Dinosaur National Monument. A second model created from the mold was displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, but was replaced by a new version dubbed "Steggie II" in 1997 made from the original mold. The first Cleveland Museum Stegosaurus was reconditioned in 1997, bought, and donated to the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where it was nicknamed "Wally," and now is returning to the studio for repairs.
