Statesboro, Georgia - Smithsonian Institute Tick Museum

World's largest tick collection. Open for one hour every Wednesday or by appointment. We spent an hour asking them about ticks and seeing the largest and smallest they had in bottles. They showed us the machine that freeze dries the ticks and coats them with gold for better viewing under the high powered microscopes. [Barbara Johnson, 04/23/2004]
