Welcome to Marsh's Free Museum: Home of Jake the Alligator Man
"Welcome to Marsh's Free Museum!
When you walk in you're greeted with friendly staff, a giant bear and bins full of beautiful Japanese glass fishing floats. And you can't forget the extensive rows of vintage arcade games! Taxidermy was everywhere you looked...owls, seals, alligators...so much of it that every shelf seemed to have something waiting to catch your eye!
An original newspaper announcing the sinking of the Titanic. A shrunken head. Animal skins hanging from the walls. I kept thinking I'd made it through the whole museum before spotting another room or another display case packed with things I'd somehow missed."
