cross the Midwest, group tours can find an
array of museums that offers unique and
enriching experiences. From quirky and
eccentric collections to specialized historical
exhibits, there is something for people
of all ages and interests. Embrace nostalgia
and curiosity at museums championed
by locals wanting to preserve the unique
character of their towns. One of the most
famous examples is The House on the Rock
in Spring Green, Wisconsin. This sprawling
attraction features a diverse mix of architectural
marvels, themed rooms, and vast
collections of antiques and curiosities.
Group tours can wander through rooms
filled with automated musical instruments,
a massive indoor carousel, and other whimsical
exhibits that captivate the imaginations
of guests of all ages.
Open in summertime only, Ed's Museum
in Wykoff, Minnesota, is named for Edwin
Julius Krueger, who lived in Jack Sprat Food
Store from 1933 to 1989. After his passing,
townspeople discovered that Ed had accumulated
decades of " junk " inside the store,
never throwing anything away. To honor
this colorful local personality, the Jack Sprat
Food Store was turned into Ed's Museum,
which preserves Ed's collection of posters,
vintage toys, and assorted knick-knacks.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, groups can visit
the House of Balls. For the past 30-plus years,
this unconventional art gallery has featured
an extensive collection of sculptures, many
of which are made of bowling balls.
Another interesting and nostalgic collection
can be found at Marvin's Marvelous
Mechanical Museum in Farmington
