Signs all over the place say to keep out. There is a public road right in front that you can drive/park on. Most interesting thing was the roof of sleds!

An unusual display of oddities and collections seemingly represent a long-forgotten past. There's so much to look at and see, your eyes don't know where to go first. I'd recommend parking in the adjacent Marathon gas station lot and walking next door.
