American Treasure Tour in Oaks, Pennsylvania
We road tripped out to Oaks, PA yesterday to see the astonishing American Treasure Tour. You start in a massive walk around area full of all kinds of things, and lots of player pianos and similar instruments. (click any to enlarge)
Then you ride through the main part of the collection on tram. This is a completely insane (in the best way) collection amassed by an 80-something man who is simply credited as "The Collector". There is literally something for everyone there, and you really have to experience it in person, but here's a few video highlights (including a full Chuck E. Cheese animatronic setup):
And here’s a few photo highlights (click any to enlarge)
Our fantastic tour guide was Nick, and talking to him afterwards he told us the IPad he was using for control was the front end for a system by my friends at Weigl Controls (we used Weigl to control our animatronic character at the Gravesend Inn at CityTech, details here and here).
This place is amazing and well worth a visit!
