| My theme for #23 Round of ABC Wednesday: Signs & Such of San Benito County, California |
Luck Museum. Doesn't that sound wondrous? Imagine the paintings, sculptures, displays, and exhibits interpreting luck. That's something.
This is a real sign in San Juan Bautista, the town next door. The Luck Museum, run by the San Juan Bautista Historical Society, was once a gas station owned by Mr. Carl Martin Luck, who immigrated from Germany in 1890. More than 80 years later, Mr. Luck's daughter donated the building and grounds to the city, which today, in addition to the museum, includes a city park and the city library. That was good fortune.

I love going through small town museums. It's been a great week so far, Lea, thanks for asking.
DeleteMust of been your lucky day.
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI have museum this week too, a little different from yours. I would enjoy seeing the Luck Museum.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like the whole town of San Juan Bautista, Jackie. It was built around one of the original 21 Spanish missions in California.
DeleteThat's kinda funny. They just need to build a casino next door ;)
ReplyDeletehahaha
DeleteLuck be a Lady tonight 😁 I would visit this museum....looks like it would be fun to see and how decent that the land was donated.
ReplyDeleteBirgit, you'd love all of San Juan Bautista. It truly is a quaint Spanish mission/California western town.
DeleteI love museums. Luck Museum looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteImagine visitors visiting and feeling lucky after their visit :)
Have a great week!

DeleteMuseum is a great take for M. Loved your post Susie:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amit.
DeleteHeh, and there I was thinking it was full of all the things that humans like to rub to bring them good luck. :)
ReplyDeletehaha
DeleteYou're LUCKY to have it!
ReplyDeleteGood fortune rained upon San Juan Bautista, for sure.
DeleteWhat's really in the museum, luck or gas or a little bit of both?
ReplyDeleteCity history, which could be full of both. :-)
DeleteHistory can be bloated and gassy.
DeleteThat's for sure. I imagine today's events written up in history books.
