I used to think it'd be really neat to go to England
and rebuild one of the ruined castles... I might even
receive some funding from their government for doing
it. Since I have none of my own, or even a plan, it
would require the cooperation of several individuals.
But one thing about castles- they're roomy! We could
wire in a cable modem, put in a library.... and pay
for it by flying in roleplayers and historians, and
rich people on pleasure trips- you know, a little like
"Midieval Times". Anyways, it'd make a neat place for
something like what you're talking about.
And though the idea sounds a bit silly, it is
perfectly feasible... all it would take is cash for
the restoration, and if set up right it would
eventually pay for itself. I read of a fellow once in
an article in the smithsonian who rebuilt a small
castle and set it up as a hotel.
