Mister Ed's Elephant Museum and Candy Store

Mister Ed's is a family business now being run by the third generation of Gotwalts. Changes over the years included a complete rebuilding after a devastating fire in 2011. Hundreds of volunteers came to clean the elephant collection. Although some were destroyed, thousands survived and are on display in the museum.

 
And then there's the candy! Handmade fudge and chocolates, loose candy by the pound, jelly bellies, Pez candy and dispensers, and nostalgic candy bars, plus nuts and souvenirs. 

Don't miss the small garden featuring animal statues, a fountain, and a teapot collection. 

 
     The museum is accessible. The garden path is rough in spots and the arched bridge is steep. Wheelchair users may need assistance. 

The parking lot is large enough for RVs. It's surfaced with gravel and the store entrance is uphill so wheelchair users may need assistance. Museum/Store  39.89827, -77.43027
