Why you should go…

The American Sign Museum fills a 42,000-square-foot building with signs dating from the late 19th century through the 1970s, many of them mounted along a faux streetscape called Signville. A 20-foot fiberglass genie greets you at the door, and the collection includes a 1963 McDonald's sign with the Speedee character and a Frisch's Big Boy statue. Neonworks of Cincinnati runs a working neon shop inside the museum, and guided tours are offered on weekends.
