I visited whilst in PA visiting friends, i had nothing to do one day so I made the trip up to Bradford. It's pretty easy to find, just off the freeway. The museum itself is fairly small, however if you are interested in the product, I'm sure you'll find it interesting enough to justify a visit. Personally I'm not all... More

This was the goal of my cross state trip while vacationing for just a few days; I was not disappointed. I've been a zippo fan for a few years, so visiting the home of Zippo lighters was a treat. Upon entering the building, you step directly into the store/gift shop. The museum for Zippo and Case knives sits behind the... More

This place was a nice surprise. I didn't know it was here until after I'd booked my hotel. It's within a mile or two from most hotels & easy to get here. The museum is free but still has a lot of interesting things to see. Their store sells all the current Zippo lighters, accessories & replacement parts, and the... More

A must for Zippo fans. Combination Zippo museum and huge store. Museum covers history, manufacturing processes, appearances in movies and popular culture. Love the "Zippo Lighter" light posts in the parking lot.

Obviously build with love and proud this center gives an opportunity to look into over 80-years history of the famous American manufacturer, and not just look, but to buy a Zippo lighter of almost any design ever issued. The exposition includes hundreds (maybe thousands) of them. Just write down the number, show it at cash desk and in a few... More

Just off of Rte. 219 in Bradford, PA is what I call "The Zippo Museum." It's a great place to stop and learn about the history of the Zippo lighter, discover Case knives and shop for really unique items. You can buy a Zippo lighter and then have it engraved as you wait for under $5 for the engraving. A... More
