In Haines, Alaska, on the Inside Passage, Director David Pahl opened the "Hammer Museum" in 2002. With
a 20 foot tall hammer in the front yard, this museum has 8,700 hammers (only 1,800 on display) and is not to be missed. In
addition, Dave has one of the largest catalogs of hammer patents. Dave welcomes all collectors to view his website, and when
up in Alaska, stop by and talk hammers anywhere. www.hammermuseum.org or [urlhammermuseum@aptalaska.net][/url] .

One more darn thing for that big bucket list.  You didn't mention if there is some outlet nearby for the wife to occupy herself?  So I can browse in peace.
