The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum in Sutton, West Virginia is a building that consists of no more than a handful of rooms, but houses one of the largest collections of bigfoot casts in the world.
Visitors from Hawaii to France have come to see the museum—a mixture of bigfoot believers, skeptics, and the simply curious.
The museum is run by Laurel Petolicchio and her son David, who said the whole thing started by accident, as the museum originally began as a consignment store to show off local craft makers. Laurel said one day a local wood carver brought in a statue of the creature to promote his work, and after that, they had many locals come in to look at the carving who then began sharing their own bigfoot encounters with the family.

What a delightful lady. I had not heard of this museum, I guess being just 6 months old. I think I will have to take a weekend motorcycle ride to this place about 300 miles to my east. So neat that the locals are coming in and telling their stories of sightings around this area and feeling free to do so.
