Over the course of 50 years, the Sheas put together an amazing little museum.
The site is an old gas station along Route 66, originally as a Texaco and later as a Marathon. The Shea's have put together an amazing collection of service station memorabilia. There's so much to see, it's a really fun place to visit.
To this day, Bill and Helen Shea are still curators of this museum.
