If "museum" defines a collection of items, this is it. My kids and I weren't expecting to see a collection of a man's kills. It felt horrible to know animals were killed just for the treasure of it.

Small wildlife museum with a mix of African and North American animals hunted and mounted, or displayed as trophy heads. Not for the faint of heart.

Great place to visit! The museum is a collection of mounted animals from all over the world which were hunted by Sumner Sheets, a Huntington resident. Collection includes the 2nd largest Polar Bear ever taken, tigers, lions, you name it.
