Has anyone ever been there? It’s only ~90 minutes away down near wheeling (Belair, Oh).

I’m thinking a group field trip is in order at some point.
Yes, I went there last year. It is very interesting and has some really nice large scale creations. We should road trip there for one of our meetings.
I have bought parts from them in the past.. They asked me to donate one of my cars to their museum.. I might give them one of my 69 camaro models…
I went a few years ago. Dan Brown gave me and my family a personal tour of the place! Of course it was February and no on other visitors wer there. He has a lot of stuff to see and yes much of it is way too big for the average person’s home. I used to get a lot of parts from him, but his store has not come up very often on my searches it the last two years.
Good morning, and thank you for the invite. Yes, I still sell LEGO but not as much as I used it. I took my career back a few years ago to “pay the bills”, and I have not been as active as I used to be.
http://www.brickmuseum.net is still up and running and I have branched out to Facebook as well (I am a MOD for another site there).
While I still have limited involvement in the bricklink store, that mostly runs now as a clearing house for the excess material on the collection (and we have some serious excess).
The collection is still growing. I invest around 10-15% of my income into the museum weekly now. And the models and new toys are amazing! I am also looking at better ways to communicate and promote the museum nationally. We were just on a episode of Shipping Wars, and I am hoping for some more national exposure.
The museum was a platform for my retirement. And I am currently 44 years old, so I am way ahead of the curve.
So I plan to let it move along as it is for a few years, then I will “get the itch” again and I will be building up a storm!

Thanks for stopping by, Dan! What’s the name of the bricklink store now? We’ll get a group organized in the spring to come check it out!
