Tony’s Old Ladies Vintage Radio Museum

In the middle of northern Illinois is the teeny town of Franklin Grove, home of Vietnam veteran Anthony Parks, who enjoys fixing old radios and record players. He enjoys it so much that he has his collection on display at Tony’s Old Ladies Vintage Radio Museum, which you admit is a “catchy” name. Tony has cancer and nearly died last year. He is still very sick, so the current state of his museum is more or less in a permanently closed state. But if you’re passing through town at least you can pose next to the sign for the Lincoln Highway, the first automobile transcontinental highway that goes across the U.S. Only 999 miles to New York!
