I love finding the not so touristy activities, so today we found this. And boy, what a great find. It’s not big, but the collection is huge. I could have spent all day here. And the people working here are really passionate about the buttons. I definitely recommend going here.

We had a free hour with the children so stopped by the button museum. It was such a great experience and entertaining to look through the museum- something for everyone! Also the staff were very friendly and assisted us in creating custom buttons to take home! Highly recommend! Thank you.
Since pinback buttons were patented in 1896, people have found many ways to express their life events through buttons. We created the Button Museum to show how people commemorated noteworthy times in their lives by creating and collecting these wearable mementos. The words, artwork, printing style, color, and size were the final result of a vision they wanted to communicate or be a part of. Buttons tell a peoples' history like anything else!The physical museum is located in Busy Beaver Button Co.'s office.
