Yep they moved into their own building. The lady said this is still less than half of the total collection but a lot more than they had in the old building. Its amazing. It is $5 per person to go in so it is not free but I felt it was worth the money. I may even go back. I also hit several antique malls along the way and found nothing.

Ive been there do a search for schmidt Coca Cola I posted around 40 or so pictures. The Schmidt Family had been in business since the early days of Coca Cola and never thrown anything away. They started collecting hardcore in the 1970s and never looked back!

So this is different than the one in Elizabeth Town Kentucky? I thought there was a Coca-Cola museum there too? or maybe it's the same stuff?
Very Very Cool.. Definately worth a trip someday!
Looks very similiar to my collection.... except for the big trucks, and ok they have a few more machines and signs, and alot more space and more coolers, and a bottling machine and that type of stuff.. but pretty darn close.. biggrin

It may be Elizabeth town. I just know it was 40 miles south of Louisville on I65. Its worth the $5 to get in thats for sure.
