** THE CANADIAN DUKES OF HAZZARD MUSEUM ** IT WAS MY DREAM TO OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, BUT IT WILL NOW BE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY WHEN IT DOES GET FINISHED.
I HAVE A TEMPORARY IN HOUSE MUSEUM, PLUS THE TRAVELING DUKES OF HAZZARD MUSEUM THAT WE TAKE TO SPECIAL EVENTS. Here is my story : I have been collecting Dukes of Hazzard stuff since 1991, and we are always looking for the Best for our Museum. The photo that was up here for almost 2 years, was of my Traveling Canadian Dukes Museum. It is a 30' Specially Designed Enclosed car trailer built for a Competition Monster Truck Team just before I bought it. It has many "Autographs" on the inside walls, over 1000 photos, and clippings of which some are framed. There is even a section on the ceiling dedicated to the New Dukes Movie, as I was an EXTRA in the movie.
Where the Traveling Museum was sitting in that photo is now where the permanent Private Collection / Museum will be. It is a 40' X 56' Pole/Beam Structure. The Dukes Room is to be 24' WIDE X 40' LONG. On display will be over 2,000 different Dukes of Hazzard Collectibles from the beginning to the present. Items such as PROPS used on the show, and from the New Dukes Movie, toys, photos, clippings, and SO MUCH MORE.
Look inside this group for photos of some of the items.
JERRY RUSHING The Real Duke, has just donated many items to our Canadian Dukes Museum. Very unique items from his "Boar's Nest ", that's where the Movie and TV version originated from. Jerry was just AWESOME, I have a REAL BOAR'S HEAD, even a pair of Jerry's overalls, plus much more.
Waylon Jennings's Denim Vest, bought from their Estate sale, along with some other items from the sale, AUTOGRAPHED BY SHOOTER JENNINGS, will be on display as well.
Always looking for DONATIONS to help us out.
