Covers?

 

There's something for everyone in this world and Nancy 3. Hoffman has definitely found her 'something'.    62-B Island Avenue, Peaks Island, Maine, the home of the one and only UMBRELLA COVER museum :).  Is this strange enough?  An umbrella cover is just the little pocket that are used to cover up your closed umbrella.. often tossed away after using your umbrella for the first time.
The museum opened in 1996 and is still going strong as people are flocking by the 10s.  Regular Museum events include guided tours and the singing of "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella," with accordion accompaniment.  The museum's mission statement is as follows...  "The Umbrella Cover Museum is dedicated to the appreciation of the mundane in everyday life. It is about finding wonder and beauty in the simplest of things, and about knowing that there is always a story behind the cover."
