"What is the American Sign Museum?
The American Sign Museum is dedicated to the art and history of signs and sign making.  The museum is proud to be the largest public museum dedicated to signs in the United States!  Covering more than 100 years of American sign history in 20,000 square feet of indoor space, the museum is a walk through the ages of sign technologies and designs. Some signs, still in their original shipping crates, remain pristine. Others proudly retain a weathered look. The storefront-laden Signs on Main Street display recreates a typical Main Street Any-Town USA, with shop windows full of sign-related artifacts. Current sign artisans have added to Main Street's "look" by creating "distressed" signs to reflect the time period. See if you can tell which signs are which! Look for the revolving sign with its actual bullet hole. Don't miss the Burma Shave sign sequence up above. Enjoy a full-size, reassembled, Mail Pouch barn sign in a room filled with local Cincinnati signs." 

I am going to tell ya, I have been on a gazillion museum tours, tours here and tours there. You know how it is ...you wonder why did I spend this money to listen to this tour person go on and on??!! Blah, Blah, Blah, why did my parent, why did my significant other drag me here??! If you ever get the chance to see this tour, I PRAY YOU DO, you'll love it, you will be amazed, surprised, shocked, to see how signs have changed over the years is just truly amazing and fun as well. Where our technology has changed and where it began ... I love that! How we have evolved??! So many pics were taken, you give the hubby the camera and it will go like click, click, click, over and over, AWESOME!!! I hope I found a few that will make you so wanna head there for a visit. SO AWESOMESAUCE! Thank you for stopping by, hope you are well today. Take Care!!! Beth ( ;
