Presidential Wax Museum

While driving through Keystone on our way to Mount Rushmore, we stopped in at the Presidential Wax Museum. It is a collection of presidential wax figures, with an additional display on 9/11 and general Custer of Little Bighorn fame.

The wax figures are all pretty impressively made, and often lifelike, but they don't always look much like the person they're supposed to imitate. You get a wand thingy where you push numbers and listen to short tales about each president. The displays are not really chronological, which makes ME angry every time. There are also a few errors and some glaring omissions in these bios, but I suppose it's ok as a beginner's introduction to presidential history. All in all a mixed review for a mixed place.

All pics here.

Ronnie. *sniffles*


But who is this person seated opposite Gorbachev?


Siri looking skeptically at Franklin Pierce, possibly the worst doofus to inhabit the White House.


Two commie fucks and one champion of liberty. Churchill ftw!


Nixon looking like he's crooning to the astronauts.


I have no idea what Clinton is supposed to be doing here. Nor, I fear, do the museum administrators.


Hanging chads, dimpled chads, undercounting, overcounting. My head hurts at the memories.


Never forgive, never forget.
