SIGHTSEEING - Lee's Legendary Marbles - Lee Batterton started his collection of marbles over 30-years ago when he was traveling across the country working on grain elevators. Stopping at antique stores and flea markets picking up marbles as a hobby turned into serious collecting about 10-years ago when he started buying other peoples collections to add to his own. Inside the museum marbles are displayed in glass cases, hundreds of quart jars are filled to the brim, vases, glass containers and trays. Among the more unusual are ones containing copper and pre World War I marbles containing uranium that have a eerie glow under black light. • Please call ahead for hours 402-362-3320 (see ad).
