National Barber Museum and Hall of Fame

A museum dedicated entirely to the history of barbering, featuring antique barber chairs, vintage clippers, and a dedicated room housing over 75 rotating barber poles.

The move: Call ahead to schedule a personal tour with director Mike Ippoliti, then marvel at the 16th-century blood-letting tools and learn why the barber pole's colors represent bandages, blood, and veins.
