The museum is very well done. Don't miss the custom vehicles in the parking lot.

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.

Zippo Lighter Museum

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.
