Results: Strangest Museum in Every State (Part Two)
Published on 06/22/2020
From disturbing oddities to "why-does-this-deserve-an-entire-museum?" subjects, these are the types of out-of-the-box attractions that make America what it is. Let's continue on our road trip courtesy of another article from Reader's Digest. Maybe I too will learn of some more interesting places to visit! I will make a series for Canada after the US series comes to an end! :)

Connecticut: The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum - When you see a name like Witch's Dungeon, you know you're about to get a spooky experience unlike anything else. The idea started in 1966, when then-13-year-old Cortlandt Hull thought wax museum "Chambers of Horrors" were lacking, and his smaller monster models just weren't cutting it. His parents helped him build life-size models, and he made enough to open a full-size museum dedicated to classic horror and sci-fi movies. Since then, the collection and its artifacts have only grown and improved, and the museum has gotten support from big-name actors like Vincent Price. Visit to see your favorite (and most feared) Hollywood monsters like the Frankenstein and the Phantom of the Opera. Have you ever visited this museum?

Delaware: Zwaanendael Museum - A museum celebrating the history of Dutch colonists in Delaware wouldn't seem so strange if it weren't for one notable item featured in the Zwaanendael Museum: the Fiji Merman. Most family heirlooms include jewelry and china, but for a century, one family kept their hands on a grotesque imaginary creature made of a fish and a shrunken monkey head, thought to have been created in China in the mid-1800s. Have you ever visited this museum?

Florida: The Waste Pro Garbage Truck Museum - The Waste Pro Garbage Truck Museum is an ode to the often-unthanked industry of garbage collection. You probably prefer to just toss out the trash and forget about it, but this collection of antique trucks will make you want to know more. Any car lover will want to take a closer look at the 1926 flatbed just like the one the Waste Pro CEO's dad drove back in the day, and movie buffs should seek out the truck Denzel Washington rode in Fences. Have you ever visited this museum?

Georgia: Vidalia Onion Museum - When there's a bulb vegetable named after your town, you'd better believe you'll be honoring it. The Vidalia Onion Museum goes through past and present, showing how the humble onion changed the economy and cooking. You can even see the onions in action—the tiniest registered Vidalia onion field is on the museum grounds. Have you ever visited this museum?
