Huh? Museum of what?
Once again, its time for a brief post just for Laughs and Giggles (L&G). Therefore, I have discovered in my travels that there is a museum for everything. In many places in the world…there are poor, obsessive souls who decided to collect a couple thousand widgets. Furthermore, these poor souls yearned for others to see and experience their collection of widgets. Thankfully, there are people in the world like PugsleyTonks. Typically, empathy is not my strong suit. But, for these poor souls who want desperately for you to see their widgets…I am here for you. In my never ending pursuit to help others…I offer you the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum.
It is a high end shed…complete with air conditioning 
Picture to prove that I visited this museum
The Reverend Paul Johnson had a passion for pencil sharpeners. And, he had a shed in his yard. For over 20 years, the Reverend amassed over 3,500 pencil sharpeners for his shed. Sadly, in 2010, Reverend Johnson passed away. But, his legacy did not die. In 2011, the Hocking Hills Welcome Center (near Logan, OH) agreed to take over the legacy and forever feature the Pencil Sharpener Museum as the major attraction for their center. Putting the museum at the visitor center accomplished two main goals. First, tourists from all over the world can now bask in the glory of his collection. Secondly, it allowed Mrs. Johnson to get the shed off her lawn. Therefore, everyone was HAPPY!
Half of the shed… 
You know you are old when the tools of your elementary school are considered ancient antiques 
…the other half of the shed
Many times, these tiny museums end up just being commercial gift shops. And, the focus is only money. But, not here. Because, there is nothing to buy. Secondly, no one works in the shed. Lastly, Its FREE to enter. I was alone in the museum to experience the whole pencil sharpener vibe. There was no PBR or pug sharpers. But, I saw lots of everything else.
Explore the history of space through pencil sharpeners 
No higher honor for a past president than becoming a pencil sharpener 
Feel our military might through pencil sharpeners
I hope you had as many laughs and giggles reading this as I did writing it. Better yet, live the experience yourself by visiting the Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum at the Hocking Hills Visitors Center. Have a happy day. PT
