As a former resident of New Troy, MI, this video is NOT the real location where Hosea Tirrel's "CENTER of the WORLD" business was located. It was torn down during the late 1980s. This video is taken in a parking lot which was surrounded by the Elementary and High Schools, and a Church of Christ in between. Sad to say both the High School and Church were torn down during late 1970's and early 1980's. The sports field and playground below where turned into a park.

New Troy has changed its claim from "Center of The World," to "City of Tomorrow."
