American Sign Museum

This quirky museum is dedicated to the art of American signage. Owner and proprietor, Tod Swormstedt, the American Sign Museum houses over 500 vintage signs once found throughout the country. Avid collector, his signage ranges from advertisements to shiny Las Vegas neon lights.

The museum is home to the history of American signage over the last century. Signs from the late 1800's are hand painted and gold leafed. Milk glass letters illuminate the electric age alongside bare bulbs. The thirty's gave rise to neon signs and a rainbow of new signs. Post war, plastics became quite popular. All these era's come together on Main Street, where we've recreated a streetscape...

Mission:To inform and educate the general public, as well as business and special interest groups, about the history of the sign industry and its significant contribution to commerce and the American landscape.
