Hiya comic/hero fans!
I was on Facebook today and a post came up regarding the Hall of Heroes Museum. They've apparently outgrown their space, and are looking to move to a new location to house all of the memorabilia they have.
They have a video up on a Kickstarter page that has an interview with Allen Bellman, one of the original Captain America artists.
They are looking to raise funds to help with the move and remodel of their new location. From their page:
It's history, just way more super! That sums up the Hall of Heroes Superhero Museum and its mission to share the world of superheroes, comic books and the collectibles and media everyone enjoys. Since opening in 2007, our collection has grown to include over 65,000 comics, over 10,000 toys and games, and over 100 pieces of animation and comic art. Our Hollywood section features an original shield used in Captain America: The First Avenger, a screen used Green Lantern ring worn by Ryan Reynolds, William Katt's Greatest American Hero Costume and Adam West’s personal 1966 Batman costume. And with the more recent additions of the Shelby Cobra from Iron-Man and the Hell Cycle from Ghost Rider... we have run out of space!
Our 3,000 square foot space was never built to house large items like Shelby Cobras, but we want to add more - like a 1966 Batmobile. In order to do that, we need to relocate to a larger space that is also easier to find for tourists passing through northern Indiana. We need your help to make the move and cover impending remodeling costs at our new location which will be located near the 80/90 toll road exit in our hometown of Elkhart, Indiana. We appreciate and need your support to help us Preserve Comic Book History!!!
I figured that perhaps spreading the word to other comic book/hero fans wouldn't hurt. I do want to point out that I am NOT in any way affiliated with the Hall of Heroes Museum or their Kickstarter campaign, I'm just an interested fan.
