Rattlesnake Pete's museum contained all kinds of things: an active working model of an oil farm with running water and RR; a 3,300 pound stuffed horse; a dummy tied to an electric chair; miniature coal mine; an Indian mannequin; a smoking pipe belonging to John Wilkes Booth; rattlesnakes on display, including live ones in a pit; peep shows, one called "the girlie" had a mechanism that when you put your face up to the hole and hit a button, instead of starting the show, flour hit the man's face. This was all very amusing to the men sitting in his father's bar attached to Pete's Museum. After it burned down, Rattlesnake Pete moved to Rochester NY and opened another museum.
