Excerpts

"For those who like the unusual, a visit to the American Dime Museum is essential. This is where you'll find a 40-inch diameter ball of string, a two-faced calf, and shrunken heads, thanks to Dick Horne and James Taylor, cofounders of the museum. For years Taylor has published the magazine Shocked and Amazed!, a publication dedicated to sideshow and roadside museums. The admission price to the old sideshows, one thin dime, explains the museum's name."
