Shrunken heads, lobster boys, manfish, unicorn skulls, and much more can be seen at Pexcho’s Dime Museum, a tribute to the original dime museums with a coffee and occasional live shows. Guided tours are as entertaining as they are educational, lasting about 30-40 minutes. The museum is located in a building - that may or may not be haunted - dating back to at least the early 1800’s in historic downtown Augusta. Museum Admission is $14.28 for 8 years and older - 10 cents for 7 years and under.
