The Columbus Collective Museums is the culmination of multiple museums. A native of Columbus, Georgia, noted local businessman and collector Allen M. Woodall, Jr., purchased two lunch boxes at an antique show in Atlanta in 1987 purely for nostalgia in their depictions of his childhood radio-show heroes in Dick Tracy and the Green Hornet.
From that modest beginning, Woodall delved deeper into his newfound interest in finding unusual and historic lunchboxes and soon amassed enough to put on display in The Lunch Box Museum he founded in 1990. Now a colorful time-warp encompassing 7,000-plus objects spanning a century of pop-culture milestones, this attraction in Columbus, Georgia, has been featured on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Smithsonian magazine, and in numerous travel guides, attracting visitors from around the world.
You can visit the Car Museum, The Lunch Box Museum, the Hatcher Family Cola Museum, The Tom Hutson Peanut Museum, and The Georgia Radio Museum & Hall of Fame.
