When you think family fun spots, I bet the Museum of Osteology on Sunnylane probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but it totally should – ‘Cause kids love dead stuff. Well, at least I did. One of my earliest memories is chasing my cousins with a severed deer hoof during the annual family post-hunting meat-packing get-together. My parents didn't let me keep it even though I promised to spray it with Lysol every day.
The museum opened in 2010, but parent organization Skulls Unlimited has existed since 1990. Just like Jobs and Wozniak, Jay and Kim Jay Villemarette started the museum as an in-home industry that continues to serve collectors and hunters. My parents claimed to have taken me to the original shop back when it was on Shields (they were hipsters before it was cool), but I do not have any memory or photographic evidence to this claim.
