Pexcho's American Dime Museum

"Incredible experience if you want something a little different. Set aside a couple hours, you definitely get your moneys worth. Also take a light jacket, it can get chilly in the exhibits on cold days. Staff is fantastic. You won’t be disappointed."

"I took my family there not knowing exactly what it was going to be like. The cost was just under $18 a person and the tour was over 2 hours long. Peter the owner was amazingly friendly and thorough. He treated my 10 year old daughter like she was his. At the end of the museum tour there was a blockhead sword swallower (pun intended) that performed. The oldest living sword swallower jn the country from my understanding. Go there and support this wacky small business. Oh and he sells great coffee and espresso that crushes Starbucks and most definitely much cheaper. Call or email to reserve a spot on the tour."

"Honestly, this was unexpectedly one of the best things I've done in 2023. My sister took me here when I was visiting from Charlotte, NC, and I love oddities, but I was absolutely blown away by the history lesson I got during my visit. The owner is amazingly knowledgeable about the history of Dime Museums, and was absolutely hilarious in giving us our tour. You may ask yourself, why would I ever want to know about the history of Dime Museums? The bigger question is, WHY DON'T YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF DIME MUSEUMS!!! I am not going to spoil anything about the tour, because this is something you absolutely need to do yourself, and as far as history goes, if you have ever been to any Museum anywhere, you have Dime Museums to thank for Museums existing in general. Red the Sword Swallower is also an absolute killer part of the show and has some truly amazing stories and knowledge that we were lucky enough to get him to share with us."

"We stopped by during the Ironman weekend. This is an surprising interesting mix of learning the history of dime museums while experiencing a dime museum. We laughed, we learned and we’d definitely come back- it’s always growing and changing."

"Literally the most interesting thing in Augusta. The museum is a really unique space, and Pexcho is a fantastic storyteller. I can’t recommend it enough. I hope it stays open forever."
