Very extensive Zippo Lighter and Case Knife museum. A lot of time and money was spent -- very informative and well displayed. Bring your knives and lighters and employees can tell you all about them. My grandfather gave me a Case knife many years ago and I was able to find out how old it was.

The Zippo Lighter museum backdrop is a view all in itself. Beautiful Allegheny Mountains.
[Jen Marceaux, 09/29/2012]The highway portion of Rt. 219 now extends past the museum (though not far). The easiest way to get to the museum is to drive past it on the highway (it is very easy to notice, day or night), take the next exit, and double back on South Ave. to the museum. And yes, I did buy a lighter last time I was there.
[Neil G. Gow, 02/28/2008]The new Zippo Visitors Center, Bradford, PA, opened in July near the company's production plant off US Route 219. This 15,000 square foot corporate museum displays items from the history of Zippo's windproof lighters, as well as cutlery and knives from the Case company, which Zippo acquired.
