30 in 30 by 30: Vent Haven Museum

This is the third in my 30 in 30 by 30 series, wherein I undertake 30 adventures in 30 days before I turn 30 years old on Aug. 6.

Vent Haven is a massive collection of 700 ventriloquist dummies nestled in a nondescript residential part of Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky.

It's freakin' amazing.


Hello, Dolly.

The incredibly knowledgeable and patient Jenn gave Quincy and me a tour of the three buildings onsite that are stacked floor to ceiling with ventriloquist puppets, vent photos and memorabilia.


Those are real teeth. Shudder.

For about an hour, we marvelled at the artistry and technology involved in making realistic talking dolls.

It was unspeakably fantastic. The museum suggests a $5 donation and it was worth every suggested penny.
