This place was very run down on the outside, with several "exhibits" falling apart behind the building. We didn't have the opportunity to go inside because they did not appear to be open even during their stated business hours. I would caution against going out of your way for this stop. Be sure to call ahead. If you have the $3.00 a person to spend and it's on your way then give it a shot, if not save the money and try something else.

This place is a strange combination of a museum, a haunted attraction, and a garden supply store. Very cheesy, a lot of fun, and just off of I-94. The hours are sketchy at best and you may have to find someone to let you in, but it's worth the trouble.
[M Adomeit, 06/13/2013]Delightful three part museum/garden supply store. The first two are filled with old and strange items; one of the notable is an audio-animatronic Elvis. He moves, talks, sings and even does that "lip thing."
But the best part in my eyes is the last venue:
"Skellville," a backyard bonefest of skeletal characters in all sizes featured in several charming and amusing vignettes. Skellville is a permanent, year-round exhibit. Marvelous and macabre!
