What visitors say
We have had a wonderful trip! Eisenhower, Truman and Grant presidential libraries and Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, sight of the Iron Curtain speech among our visits. But the most enlightening stop was your museum! Indiana…
Feels more like a vast personal collection than a museum, but still super interesting. Owner is a friendly guy. Worth a stop if you’re downtown. Entry fee is $10 2026/05/17
This private collection museum was incredible. The sheer amount of artifacts that the owner has collected and the information amassed here is well worth the visit. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, you can easily spend hours…
