Did you know that barbed wire was first patented in 1874? Or that it played a crucial role during the World War I, when its high tensile strength made it a powerful deterrent against enemy tanks? This museum has more than 2000 types of barbed wire on display, and you can brush up on your knowledge at the learning centre, where you’ll find newsletters from America’s top barbed wire appreciation clubs (yes, those are a thing) and an extensive collection of fencing tools. Visit in May and you’ll be able to participate in the annual Barbed Wire Swap and Sell and take part in the barbed wire splicing contest. Seriously.
How much does it cost for one fresh barbed wire meal?nnedit: note to self, do not eat barbed wire
If I went to this place, would I meet other member of the wire family other than Barb?
Very interesting to say the least. The man giving the tour was such a sweet old soul. I'd love to go back if it wasnt so far away.
Very interesting! Well organized and creative displays.
