This was a really neat and interesting place to visit. Located on private property -- they welcome visitors so kindly. The Button King passed about eight years ago, but we met his son and spent some time chatting with him about so many different things and experiences that his dad had. We had a great time! There is a DVD available to watch of the various talk shows he was invited to, which was fun to see! There's no entrance fee, but there is a donation jar and guestbook inside.
