Alton, Illinois: Relics of the World's Tallest Man (Closed)

Robert Wadlow stood nearly nine feet tall, so everything he wore or used had to be big. Most of it was destroyed by his mother after he died, but a few relics have survived to impress later generations of tinier humans.

We tried to visit yesterday, but the place is locked and dark. We asked about it at the Biomedical Library next door, and were told that the museum had been operated by a single volunteer, and that nobody has seen or heard from him since before Covid. Phone calls don't go through, either.
