elevaTOURS Elevator Museum WELCOME to the elevaTOURS International Elevator Museum! To donate items or to arrange a visit, please send a message. VISITS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Welcome to the elevaTOURS International Elevator Museum. What started as a collection of elevator buttons has turned into an effort to preserve and display elevator related items. As an elevator enthusiast, I appreciate how elevators have evolved over time. I enjoy the latest technology and appreciate the rich history of the elevator industry. VISITORS ARE WELCOME! however due to the nature of my

(small one man) operation, visits must be scheduled. A visit to the museum will be an unforgettable experience. When you first arrive at the museum you will be treated to a ride on an antique Salem elevator to the floor where the museum is located. Once at the museum you are treated to a hands on experience of elevator equipment from all over the world ranging from modern latest technology to antique. Donations of elevator related items, especially historic are welcome as well. For information about my museum, please send me a message. The elevaTOURS Elevator Museum is a private collection hosted by a handful of people who simply love elevators and elevator history.

Last week down at the elevator museum was awesome! We had 2 group visitations! First one was 2 couples from here in Roanoke. They really enjoyed it. The second was a class from Community School for the Arts! This was pretty exciting and the first school group to visit the museum!

To my local Roanoke people, I need a recommendation. I have this OTIS elevator panel and normally I leave this stuff original however this one was in VERY bad shape. I have attempted to clean it but this is as good as I can get it. I figured something like this I wanted to go all out and restore the brass. Are there any businesses in Roanoke that offer brass cleaning or restoration? If this were a smaller piece, it would not be that big of a deal but this is a little more than I can handle.

As we enter the month of June, those of us who are LGBT celebrate Pride Month. Pride month is not about "Look at me! I'm gay!" It's a time to recognize that homophobia still exists, and that there are still some places where we can be executed just for being who we are. Being gay is not a choice. I know this from personal experience, as someone who was once subjected to religious propaganda and tried to be someone I wasn't. It didn't work. I'm making this post because accepting who I am has made me happier than I've ever been. It also allowed me to meet the most amazing person I've ever known. To anyone that reads this, It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe. NEVER hate yourself, love who you are, don't let anyone try to bring you down but at the same time don't put down people who are different from you! We are all beautiful in our own way!

I know this was not a super involved project but this is a before and after on a vintage KONE panel that was given to me in Sweden. I am really proud of this because I took initiative and did this myself.
