Banana Museum

The Banana Museum has relocated from Altadena to main street, between 2nd and 3rd in Hesperia. It is very nice, well laid out and was very enjoyable. [joyce richardson, 06/06/2006]

[RA: Owner and founder Ken Bannister has been collecting bananabilia since 1972. The museum -- the largest in the world devoted to a single fruit -- has 17,000 items on display, including a petrified banana and Tammy Faye Baker's degree in Bananerology.

Update: The Banana Museum is being kicked out of its rent-free space at the end of March 2010. Unless a new space can be found, the museum is expected to close.]
