Pioneer Park Historical Complex

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

The Pioneer Park Historical Complex in Wisconsin is a large open-air museum designed to show what life was like in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Instead of one single display, it’s a collection of buildings and exhibits arranged like a small historic village. Visitors walk through different structures, each focused on a specific part of early community life.

Main features of the complex include:
Logging Museum (core exhibit)
– Recreates a lumber camp with bunkhouses, tools, and artifacts from the Northwoods logging era—one of the region’s most important industries.
Historic buildings
– Includes a one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, and other restored structures that show how people lived, worked, and learned in the past.
Railroad and industry exhibits
– Features an old train depot, logging locomotive, and displays about railroads and the local paper mill industry.
Specialized collections
– Exhibits on firefighting equipment, antique boat motors, and Civilian Conservation Corps camps from the 1930s.
Outdoor displays
– Logging equipment, canoes, and machinery spread across the grounds help illustrate daily work and transportation.
Local folklore (Hodag exhibit)
– A fun section dedicated to the legendary Hodag creature, which is part of local culture and history.

Willow Creek China Flat Museum And Bigfoot Collection

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

Located in the Bigfoot capital of the world, the Willow Creek-China Flat Museum in Willow Creek, California is home to some of the most sought after Bigfoot casts and photos. The museum’s world renowned Bigfoot Collection even includes the original plaster cast of the Patterson film Bigfoot.

Pulling into the parking lot you will be greeted with a 25-foot-tall redwood sculpture of Bigfoot sitting in front of the small yellow building that is the museum. Inside you will find about one-third of the museum dedicated to Bigfoot, a third dedicated to Willow Creek history and the remaining third dedicated to (wait for it…) a gift shop.

In the Bigfoot area you will see numerous casts of footprints or handprints found around the Pacific Northwest and some in the Willow Creek area over the past nearly 100 years. In addition, multiple newspaper articles are displayed reporting on sightings and experiences people have had with Bigfoot. There’s also some hair samples with a letter of authenticity from a doctor who stated that the source was an ape/human. Sounds like Bigfoot may be needing some Just For Men soon. Or rather, some Just For Cryptids.

This museum is free and run by volunteers with a great range of exhibits both inside and out.

Hours

The museum is open from May through September Tues-Sun from 10-4 and in October Sat & Sun from 10-4.

Fouke Monster Mart

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

Fouke Monster Mart is a famous roadside store dedicated to the legend of the Fouke Monster. It’s located in the small town of Fouke, a few miles from the swampy area called Boggy Creek, where the creature was reportedly seen.

The store is a mini-mart/gift shop/food counter/museum all wrapped up with a cryptid theme. It opened in 1983 and became a tourist stop for people interested in the Fouke Monster legend. Talk about your one stop shopping!

Inside you’ll find a small museum display about the Fouke Monster and photos and items related to the movie ‘The Legend of Boggy Creek’. The gift shop features shirts, stickers, and books about the creature. If you’re stomach is growling there’s not only a regular convenience store selling items like snacks and drinks but also a small food counter that sells things like pizza and BBQ!

The fan favorite is a Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It features an original crust topped with a mixture of ranch dressing and buffalo sauce, Mozzarella & Monterey Jack cheese, and diced chicken. Sounds delicious but a Buffalo Fouke Monster Pizza would be fouking awesome!

Mothman Museum

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

The Mothman Museum is a small museum located in Point Pleasant, West Virginia (the town where the famous sightings began) and is dedicated to the legend of the Mothman. The museum opened in the mid-2000s and is considered the world’s only museum focused entirely on the Mothman legend.

Inside the museum you will find such treasures as: handwritten eyewitness accounts from the night of November 15, 1966, original newspaper articles and press clippings about the sightings, police reports and photographs from the investigation, props from the film ‘The Mothman Prophecies’, and information about the Silver Bridge collapse, which many people associate with the sightings. There’s also a life-sized replica of Mothman waiting to greet you as you enter the museum.

Of course, no museum is complete without a gift shop to stock up on your cryptid merchandise like shirts, books, and souvenirs

Just outside the museum is a Mothman statute. People from all over the world travel to Point Pleasant to get a selfie with the famous Mothman Statue. You can even watch folks interact with the statue on the Mothman Statue Cam, a live 24/7 stream. I’ve watched some of this and based on how people interact with the statue I can confidently say we are doomed as a species.

The Sasquatch Outpost And Discovery Museum

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

The Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, Colorado is listed as one of the top 10 wackiest places to visit in all of Colorado. The Sasquatch Encounter Discovery Museum is a must-see for anyone who has any interest in Bigfoot! It is a fascinating journey into Bigfoot Territory complete with their very own Bigfoot named “Boomer”! There are also exhibits of casts of foot prints, hair, and eyewitness accounts.

The outpost is visited by thousands every year and has the largest selection of Sasquatch souvenirs anywhere in the Western U.S. They also sell a huge variety of camping supplies and gear to get you squatchin’. There’s a little Bigfoot cave and forest decorated like a magical forest with themed lighting and immersive design that kids will enjoy. There’s now even a Bigfoot Escape Room (Deep Woods Sasquatch Escape Adventure) where you and your team will have one hour to discover what happened to world-renowned Sasquatch researcher, Dr. William J. Boone, who vanished without a trace over 30 years ago.

One of the more interesting exhibits is The Tremendous Turd. It’s a four foot long seemingly Bigfoot turd. “I’d never seen a turd like that,” said Jim the owner, who discovered the feces in July 2020, about ten miles from the Outpost.

A real missed opportunity here with naming this turd ‘Tremendous Turd’. A name like ‘Crypturd’ would have really gone viral.

Hours

Open 10AM-4PM Thursday thru Monday. Closed Tuesday, Wednesday

Admission

Adults: $8.00
Kids 5-18: $4.00
Kids Under 5: Free

Expedition Bigfoot – The Sasquatch Museum

SEVENSEASSOFTWARE

This museum located in Blue Ridge, Georgia is the largest Bigfoot Museum in the world. The over 4,000 square foot museum includes such things as life size interactive exhibits, the nation’s largest display of footprint casts, a sasquatch theater, and the world’s only bigfoot research and tech vehicle. Perhaps the most impressive thing might be the 36″ sasquatch turd on display.

The museum is self-guided, and on average it takes 45 minutes to an hour to go through. The self-paced layout made it easy to explore at our own speed, and the interactive stations add a fun, hands-on twist. Don’t worry there’s also a gift shop where you can buy all your Bigfoot souvenirs including books, movies, T-shirts, toys, chocolates, and much much more!
