Spent some time with Tom Parr today. What a great place and person to visit. I need many days to go through everything. I’ll be back, hopefully take a trip during the NTA Convention in Lima. If you are ever going through the Columbus Ohio area, you must make a point to stop in and see the museum. Wow.

I guarantee I’ll never be in that area without seeing the museum. Mr Tom is awesome. I doubt he’ll remember me but he gave me my first fiberglass submersion rig in 2017 after we had a good visit. It’s in my truck, and I’m planning on using it tomorrow.

That big trap in the yard makes for a pretty cool photo. Tom is a great host and the museum is second to none.

Yep a person should take the time to go and take a look. I have emailed Tom with a question and he got back to me right away.

Had the pleasure to spend a few days last year at the museum. Still didn't get through everything. Just as much paper as there are traps. Tom is a wealth of knowledge and great guy.

Yep that place is mind boggling. I need to venture back up there for a whole day to piddle around in there.

I thought that big trap looked familiar, somewhere I have photos from Escanaba of myself the wife and kids posed with it
