The 1950’s Vintage Autopsy Bone Saw:

This unassuming kit in our collection looks like an old hobby tool… but it’s actually a mid-20th-century electric autopsy saw, designed for one of forensic pathology’s most delicate tasks: opening the human skull.

Here are 3 mind-blowing facts about this chilling piece of history:
1. It doesn’t spin – it vibrates! The blade oscillates at high speed (back-and-forth like a furious toothbrush), slicing through tough bone while barely harming soft tissue. Pathologists can even touch the running blade safely with their skin – it just tickles (or lightly scuffs)!
2. Born from cast-cutting genius: Invented by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Homer Stryker in the 1940s to safely remove plaster casts without injuring patients. He adapted it for autopsies, revolutionizing post-mortems by protecting vital organs like the brain. His little company? It grew into today’s Stryker Corporation – a multi-billion-dollar medical giant!
3. From morgue staple to pop culture icon: This oscillating tech became the gold standard for autopsy saws worldwide, minimizing mess and risk in forensic work.

You’ve probably seen (or heard) it in crime shows – that distinctive buzz when removing the skull cap? That’s our vintage beauty in action.
Come see this eerie artifact up close and uncover more secrets of medical history. Who’s brave enough to visit?

The C.M. Sorensen embalming machine from the 1920s

Electric motor, piston pump, glass fluid bottles, rubber tubes… all elegantly displayed in a wooden case like forbidden Victorian alchemy.

And yes, that’s a top hat perched on top, because even death deserved a touch of class back then.
Eternal rest, delivered with style.

E-Z Way Airbrush kit:
made specifically for funeral home restorative art and embalming. Complete professional setup from the 1960s–1980s that revolutionized post-mortem cosmetics.

A small, quiet, low-pressure (3–8 psi) airbrush system with a row of specially formulated Kalip-Kote opaque cosmetics in glass bottles (the classic “E-Z Way / Kalip-Kote by Kelco” line you see lined up on top).
With this one little tool and those bottles, a skilled embalmer could airbrush hypodermic tissue builder into swollen or crushed areas, then layer opaque flesh tones so precisely that even severe automobile accident victims could have completely natural, viewable open-casket funerals — something that was considered virtually impossible before this kit became widespread.

A powerful secret weapon in modern funeral service, allowing embalmers to literally repaint and sculpt life back onto the dead with photographic realism.

You’ll be able to get a better look, in person!

The Human Brain

1. Your brain rewires itself every single time you remember something. Memory isn’t a recording that gets replayed—it’s a reconstruction. Every time you recall an event, your brain physically re-assembles the neural pattern from scratch and usually changes it a little. That means the version of your “favorite childhood memory” you have today is literally not the same neural pattern it was 10 years ago. You are, in a very real sense, editing your own past every time you remember it.

2. You have a second brain in your gut with 500 million neurons.
The enteric nervous system (the “gut brain”) contains more neurons than your spinal cord, runs on its own neurotransmitters (90 % of the body’s serotonin is made there), and can operate completely independently if the vagus nerve is cut. It’s why you can still digest food in a coma and why “gut feelings” are a real physiological signal, not just a saying.

3. Your brain can generate up to 50,000–70,000 thoughts per day… but you’re only consciously aware of about 50 of them.
The rest run on autopilot in the default mode network. Most of what you “think” is actually happening beneath awareness—like a hidden operating system that quietly decides what you’ll notice, crave, fear, or love next. You’re basically a passenger in your own head for 99.9 % of the mental traffic.

This human brain will be available for your observation when we've officially opened to the public.

We have opened a new door and observed the thin veil.

A 19th century deconsecrated church, untouched since its last congregation dissolved into silence. Its former self has been restored to purpose:

The Museum - exhibiting an extraordinary collection of 19th-century mortuary science: authentic embalming instruments, post-mortem tools, and preserved anatomical specimens—including a fully dissected human face.

The Séance Parlor - where century-old methods breathe alongside the instruments of now. Ouija Boards made with the intent to reach the supernatural. Tarot cards designed throughout time. Paranormal investigative Equipment forged from innovation and curiosity that can be used along side your own summoning.

We will be making this available to paranormal researchers to reserve and experiment over night starting in 2026. If you or any group you know might be interested, please share and tag!

Naturally aspirating blood transfusion kit from the 19th Century. Used as a last resort method to drain ones, diseased blood, and replace it with new.

The issue? Blood types weren't discovered until 1900. If it wasn't the disease that killed them, it was the blood clumping and fever.
