Sander's Wax Museum - 443 N Garrison Street

It contains all the standard scenes and figures, Caesar and Cleopatra to Lucky Lindy. It sports as well a small chamber of horrors — a guillotining, an iron maiden with piteous occupant, a witch in flames, as well as ten edifying Biblical brutalities. The exhibits are poorly lit, but impressively life-like and detailed. The museum is regularly open on Saturday and holidays, 1–5 P.M., and for the entire month of August, when Boston folk encamp up and down the valley and cast about for something — anything — to do. Admission is 10 cents.

Pete Sander is more hobbyist than businessman, and earns most of his money as a portrait photographer and sign-painter.
