The museum is very nice, clean and professionally done. They have items for sale too, so it's almost like an outlet. Glad we stopped. More

The museum and store are nice and we bought Case pocket knives for Christmas gifts. If only there were more to do in the area. Considered going to Salamanca (PA) Mall Antiques but instead we went back to Olean, NY for our lunch. More

Wonderful museum displaying vintage Zippo lighters and Case knives. Displays are very well labeled in large readable print. Great place to spend a couple hours and check out the Zippo and Case Store. More

You would not expect a lighter museum to be so interesting - but the collection of lighters, the facts and the history behind this product are amazing. Something of interest for everyone including teenagers. More

Who knew Zippo lighters were made in this out-of-the-way Pennsylvania town? Great place to shop for souvenirs. Lots of stuff in addition to cigarette lights. More

Go! This place proves the adage “teach history from different points of view,” in this case, through the world of Zippo lighters and Case knives. You will learn history here. This includes the history of celebrities, manufacturing processes, and warfare . . . and the interactions of the three. . . . and. . . IT’S FREE! Before and after... More

this place was actually very interesting. There is a long history behind the Zippo lighter. The Zippo "car" sitting outside is also really cool. More
