Totally amazing guided history of dime museums and how they transformed the entertainment industry. The owner is a great storyteller and weaves the truth with entertainment to keep you engaged and smiling the whole time. Very unique experience, I can’t recommend this enough.

This was a potently Awesome Experience. There's a personal touch and passion here that isn't going to be found anywhere else. We learned so much and still left with a delightful sense of wonder. We're going to remember our first visit for the rest of our lives and can't wait to come back!

What an amazing hidden gem! You are taken through the museum by an experienced guide and get to view so many strange and wonderful artifacts. I learned all about the history, rise and fall of the dime museum, circuses and side shows. I would recommend to anyone with a curiosity for the strange and wonderful.

Pexcho’s was truly a magical experience from the second you walk through the door. Paul, the owner and guide, is a fantastic historian and storyteller lead us on a two hour tour that ended with Red the world renowned sword swallower doing what he does best. If you’re looking for an amazing experience look no further and go support one of the last dine museums in America.

My wife and I visited the Dime Museum while on an anniversary trip. All I can say is this place is AMAZING. I was entertained and educated all at once. Every time I thought it couldnt get any better.....Boom...a new secret door would open, and I was impressed all over again. The owner is engaging and delightful. I can't wait for the expansion!!?

We had a private tour with Peter and it was well worth the detour. Interesting curios, fascinating back stories, and the finale was a display of sword swallowing, which was all the more amazing from front row seats (there was no back row🥴). I guarantee it will be a memorable experience.

This is a museum of the unusual. The closest thing I can think of is Ripley’s and P.T. Barnum. We arrived in the morning around 10am. You have to have reservations and we had sent a message the night before. When we got there we paid and then ushered into a dimly lighted sitting area. The owner told us about the museum and what was in it. Expect the unexpected. Most of the items were before 1920 and much older. The owner took us and explained the museum for us for over 2 hours. At the end Red took back the stage and gave us the history of side shows. He expertise was hammering a large nail into his nose and swallowing a sword. I am not kidding! So after 2.5 hours of having a personal tour we left. This place is a definite must see. If you carry kids, they need to be mature.

Went out of my way on my drive up because I had to check something off my bucket list~ Had to see the world’s only 2 headed T Rex skeleton. Pexcho's American Dime Museum in Augusta GA is where you’ll find this & an unforgettable world of the American Dime Museum of the late 19th, early 20th century. By appointment only & led by founder Peter Excho, he himself is the biggest treasure of the museum. He will capture your curiosity & keep you amazed with his knowledge & wit. Give yourself at least 2 hours, & be prepared to be disappointed when the tour ends, “Always Leave Them Wanting More” & you will want more after you’re led thru the last magical threshold. Which is a good thing, because there is more~ you’ll also get a performance from the legendary Sideshow Entertainer & World Record Sword Swallower, John “Red” Stuart.

A truly unique (look up the word) place . So much cool stuff, with a personal tour from the man who curated it. No matter your age or education level, you will leave knowing a dozen things you didn't know. And to top it off after the tour we were treated to a performance by Blockhead and Sword Swallower Red Stuart. A man who's lived a fascinating life (buy his book there, it's a great read). If you find yourself anywhere near Augusta, Ga this is a MUST SEE!

My husband and I happened to stumble into this place while they were open completely unaware of what it was. We were surprised at what a fantastic experience it was! Boasting to be one of the last dime museums in America, it's full of character through its many oddity exhibits, including a two-headed T-Rex! I was surprised at how informative it was as well. Many people have heard about Barnum and "Ripley's Believe it or Not", without knowing much more about the history of museums in the USA. The guide, Peter able to charismatically teach us a ton about the history of museums and side attractions through a variety of vignettes. The museum itself is full of personality, featuring many hidden doors and unexpected sights. Some of the comments and exhibits were hilarious! I was bursting out laughing at a particular one. I won't give away any surprises, so you will just have to come to see. In the end, we were able to be treated to see a live sword swallowing performance! Overall, the museum has a lot of heart and is worth seeing. Its family-owned roots and passion from the team are very apparent. I'm really glad I was able to see this, and I definitely recommend scheduling a tour to anyone reading this!
