A unique and chilling experience is set to unfold in Ohio as a horror museum showcasing haunted objects and a restaurant serving the final meals of notorious criminals prepares to open its doors. Located at 227 Harding Way E. in Galion, the museum curated by Nate Thompson, the mastermind behind The Michigan Museum of Horror, promises a blend of real-life horror and fiction through human bones, taxidermy, Ouija boards, and true crime artifacts.
The building housing this macabre collection, constructed in 1900, boasts a haunting history, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the forthcoming establishment. Thompson revealed plans to offer ghost tours and other spooky events to engage visitors in an immersive experience that delves into the eerie and mysterious.
Adding a culinary twist to the horror-themed venture, the museum will feature a restaurant named “The Last Meal,” where patrons can savor the final dishes consumed by infamous convicts on death row. From serial killer-themed beverages to personalized portions of notorious criminals’ last suppers, the menu is designed to intrigue and captivate diners with a taste for the macabre.
For instance, John Wayne Gacy’s last meal, comprising fried chicken, shrimp, strawberries, and French fries, will be a featured item. Thompson aims to recreate the prison dining experience by serving orders on prison-style platters, offering a chilling yet unique dining experience.
While the announcement of this venture sparked excitement among many, it also drew criticism for potentially glorifying murderers and disregarding the victims of their crimes. Thompson, acknowledging these concerns, emphasized the establishment’s role in raising awareness about crime and pledged a portion of the profits to support victims’ advocacy organizations.
By immersing visitors in the world of true crime, Thompson believes that the museum and restaurant will foster a deeper understanding of the grim realities faced by victims and the importance of caution in society. He envisions the venture as a platform to turn negative narratives into positive outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
With plans to unveil the Galion attraction in the upcoming summer, Thompson’s vision extends beyond Ohio, with aspirations to replicate his horror-themed museums in various locations nationwide. From Ohio to Kentucky and beyond, the blend of horror, history, and gastronomy is set to captivate audiences seeking a spine-tingling experience like no other.
