Mindfield and Barbershop Museum.

Mindfield and Barbershop Museum

Long located in front of Billy Tripp's Mindfield, Anthony Turner has turned his working barbershop into an eclectic museum for the Mindfield, the Civil Rights Movement, Soul Music, Elvis, and, as the sign on the front says: a "menagerie" of gifts and items from Mr. Anthony's personal collection. Inside, Elvis, and Aretha Franklin sing, Martin Luther King speaks, a Mindfield video documentary loops, and numerous inspirational quotes hang from the ceiling.

The museum is small, but claims to be filled with "history, art, wisdom, and a million dreams," and to offer visitors "a look into the past, present, and future." Sounds like a perfect neighbor for the Mindfield. July 2019: Photo added.
