Your Local Museum.

[derspiess]

I'm having museum envy.  The Ed Anger museum is awesome but it's not close enough to Cincy to call it my local musem.  In Cincy itself we have a decent kids museum and a pretty good art museum.  I guess the Cincinnati Museum Center is semi-notable, since it was used as the basis for the Hall of Justice on Superfriends

Oh, and, uh, there's the creation museum over across the river

We have Museum in the State capital.  They have letter written over a hundred years ago about pigs, an illegible message carved in the wood of a maple tree, a betamax video cassette player dating from the last century and the prize exhibit: a 1958 Desote that ancient Missourians used in settling the state.

Frankly, I count anything within an hour's drive as local.

Hour & a half for me

I keep wanting to take my kid to Serpent Mound but can't justify the 3 to 3.5 hours worth of driving to do so.  Would be different if they had something else nearby worth doing.

It isn't in Jefferson City, or even Missouri (though it is near St. Louis), but I think Cahokia is one of the best places in the country. It seems crazy to me that what is in St. Louis gets so much publicity but a borderline worldclass site a few miles away is barely mentioned. And from what I've seen, gets few visitors.

Take him to the creationist museum. It is a hoot.

Wow...that's....madness. An hours travel of any sort is pushing it in my book let alone driving. That could take you into a totally different part of Britain easily.

Other fun "local" museums:

Neil armstrongs in wapokentka. Gus grissom's in Indiana. That one is a bit sad.

He was vindicated.  He knows it.

Other fun "local" museums:

Not only does Maryland have the largest Stars Wars toys and collectibles museum, in the same building it also houses the nation's largest contiguous Hamster Habitat.

Indiana had a fruit jar museum in Muncie.

Maryland truly is one of the great centers of world culture and civilization.

In Philly it was the Mummers Museum:

What's their slogan? "Mum's the word?"
