The chair was occupied by a glamorous lady mannequin when last we checked. Also: a shoe of Robert Wadlow, the World's Tallest Man.

Loved this museum for its randomness! Along with the electric chair there's a weird amount of antique dolls, interesting artifacts, and scale models of important area landmarks. It's a fun and fairly quick stop right off I-25.
