I curious to know if anyone knows the fate of the EF Johnson museum that
was at 123 N. State St. in Waseca? It appears that a ham club toured
around 2010 and while the building and EF Johnson sign can be seen on
Google Streetview, the sign on the door now reads "The Speckled Hen" and
the logo is a chicken, not Viking Man but the building is big enough to
have more than one occupant. Is the museum still in existence?

The displays are similar to what I remember seeing in the factory in the
80's. Operations in Waseca ended in 2004 and the museum came along
after that. A 2014 article about it and the people behind it can be
found here:
