The Wild Wonderful King Vintage Museum has been accepting visitors from around the world since 2002 and moved October 2008 to its new, expanded location at 40680 Highway 41 in Oakhurst just north of the Days Inn.
The museum opened with a feature exhibit of the Civil War era. The main feature changes each season. The featured exhibits have included a Bridal Collection, Nifty Fifties, Winter Wonderland, Textures and Styles, and more.
Visit the Victorian Room and see the 1790 ballroom slippers worn by Miss Lucy Wilson; the new exhibit Dressing a Victorian Woman; dresses from the 1800's; and purses, fans, and hats from centuries past. Other exhibits include a Civil War sword, Civil War discharge papers, and military uniforms. In addition, there is a children's area as well as shelves lined with a fantastic hat collection of cloches, bonnets, cartwheels, mourning bonnets, and more dating back to the Victorian times through the 1960's.
The Abraham Lincoln "Self Made In America" Exhibit has now closed and moved on to its next destination. It was a tremendous success and brought many local people as well as visitors to the King Vintage Museum.
The wonderful volunteers, including our Manly Men, have now put the Museum back together. Our new exhibit is an expansion of the Civil War Era through the turn of the century. Many more items are displayed, more uniforms for the guys and lingerie dresses for the ladies. There is a touch of bridal as well as an expanded childrens' area. So, even if you have visited us during the Lincoln Exhibit, it's not too soon for that return visit ... or bring Mom/Grandma on Mother's Day - so everyone can step back in time!
Admission is $3.00 per person.
Hours are 11 am - 5 pm Wednesday through Saturday
1 pm - 4 pm on Sundays
Of course, tours may be arranged - call the Museum for more information.
Step back in history and learn about the lifestyles of and fashion of the past era and see the beauty of vintage fashion. Learn about the efforts that the museum has taken to preserve the collections for generations to come.
