Museum of Wonder

When looking for the Museum of Wonder, trust your GPS to lead you to 41 Poorhouse Road -- there is no sign for the museum. If you see the rural mailbox for #41, you are at the right place. Drive down the long gravel driveway (about a quarter-mile) to the museum. A single traveler -- especially a woman -- might at first be a little intimidated by the "off road" atmosphere. But the folks at the museum are truly gentlemen. The collection of folk art and miscellaneous items makes for a very interesting visit.

Come see curiosities from around the world and beyond (but mostly from Alabama!). Started in the 1970s as Butch's taxidermy shop and artifact room, the Museum of Wonder is now filled with art, artifacts and antiques, and some very strange items.
