Results: Strangest Museum in Every State (Part Four)

Kansas: Kansas Barbed Wire Museum - Bet you didn't know there were more than a handful of types of barbed wire, let alone the 2,000 varieties displayed at the Kansas Barbed Wire Museum. But that's not all this museum has in store. It's also full of bottles of quack cures for barbed wire injuries, a life-size cowboy diorama, and—if you're lucky enough to visit in May—a convention of buying and selling wires, and the world championship for barbed wire splicing. Have you ever visited this museum?

Kentucky: Vent Haven Museum - Hard to believe there's apparently only one ventriloquism museum in the world, the Vent Haven Museum. It features more than 900 dummies, including a group sitting in rows of chairs like their very own audience. Have you ever visited this museum?

Louisiana: Abita Mystery House - You don't have to go to New Orleans to be met with strange things in Louisiana when there are places like the Abita Mystery House in Abita Springs. You never know what you'll find, but it's easy to see why it's considered the state's most eccentric museum. Feast your eyes on a collection of combs (which don't seem to have any special significance), a "dogigator" resembling a dog-alligator hybrid, and some admittedly cute paint-by-number artwork. Have you ever visited this museum?

Maine: International Cryptozoology Museum - Cryptozoology, as the International Cryptozoology Museum explains, is the "study of hidden animals." No, not shy or near-extinct animals, but ones that have never been seen by humans. Like, ever. Despite the lack of scientist-approved evidence of these, ahem, rare beasts, the museum is filled with evidence like "real" Yeti hair and footprints, plus models of creatures like the feline-serpent Tatzelwurm and the Beast of Bray Road. Have you ever visited this museum?

Maryland: Havre de Grace Decoy Museum - Decoys may have first been made to lure ducks in for hunters, but at the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum, they attract humans too. Those who think duck decoys sound pretty blase will be impressed by the craftsmanship, not to mention the rich history of waterfowling in the region. There's even an exhibit of master carver R. Madison Mitchell's workshop (a replica, of course—this is a decoy museum, after all). Have you ever visited this museum?
