Emmett Kelly Museum

Emmett Kelly Museum

The Emmett Kelly Museum in Sedan, Kansas, nominally honors their native son, the famed circus clown. The museum houses a mix of local memorabilia along with a few Kelly-related items, but its main attraction is the world's largest collection of commemorative Jim Beam bottles, some 1,500, donated by a couple who once took them on tour.
