Historic Construction Equipment Association

This one's a bit out of Cincinnati but Dan and I thought it was worth including anyway. Out in Bowling Green, Ohio, you can find an incredible collection of construction equipment and an association dedicated to its preservation.

To be honest, the tour guide was spoke at a fairly technical level, so I didn't always understand the nuance of the machines. The museum typically caters to people in the business, when they have trade shows and the like. The fact that there were outsiders there at all seemed to really surprise them-- they asked me a handful of times how I'd discovered the museum at all.

(By the way, it was through the Roadside America iPhone app.)

Since I can't tell you much about the machines, check out these awesome old brand typefaces. These alone were worth the trip (and the $5 admission).
