Button King Museum My family stopped here on the way home from a vacation. Mr. Steven's son greeted us and he retrieved Mr. Stevens to give us a tour of the Button Museum. I will tell you that Mr. Stevens is a very kind, interesting, and charming gentlemen. This was absolutely the highlight of our trip.
Allow yourself at least an hour, because the tour includes video highlights of Mr. Stevens with Johnny Carson and various other television hosts. Many people will remember seeing him make the rounds on the talk shows back in the '80s and '90s. See if you can guess which one is the Button King in my picture! [Emily Wood, 07/22/2008]
