Visitor Tips and News About Vent Haven: Ventriloquist Museum
Following are Vent Haven: Ventriloquist Museum reports and tips that were sent in by RoadsideAmerica.com visitors. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip or update.
Vent Haven is the legacy of Northern Kentucky businessman W.S. Berger. After seeing his first ventriloquist in the early 1900s, Berger fell in love with the art form. For the rest of his life, Berger collected vent memorabilia. His collection grew as vents willed their dolls to Berger. Eventually, he obtained almost 500 ventriloquist figures and thousands of artifacts.
Before his death in 1993, Berger set up a trust fund to maintain his collection and allow others to enjoy the history of the craft. In addition to housing the permanent collection, the museum also sponsors an international convention of vents.
The museum is open May 1 through September 31. The tours are by advance appointment and a nominal donation is requested for admission. [Surly Grrl, 12/24/2000]
