About
The Matchstick Marvels Museum is a museum in Gladbrook, Iowa, that features models created entirely of wooden matchsticks. The models are the work of Pat Acton, a resident of Gladbrook, and date back to 1977. As many as twenty of his large-scaled models are on display at any time. Ripley's Believe It or Not! has purchased 25 of Acton's creations and the museum was featured in a short documentary, part of the Discoveries... America series.
