Vent Haven KY: Ventriloquist Exhibit – Vent Haven Mitchell, KY

Posted on timeApril 13th, 2010 by userAdvisor    flagNo Comments


Located in the bump at the top of Kentucky just south of (just 5 miles south of Cincinnati) is the little community of 8000, Fort Mitchell. In this little town is the Vent Haven: Ventriloquist Museum. This unusual stop, for those vacationing in the area, will have you recalling memories from when you were a youth and watching the gifted ventriloquists bring you from the current world into the usual times funny world of the “dummy”.
Vent Haven is different in the museum world. It is the solitary one dedicated to the art of ventriloquism. It was started by William Shakespeare Berger in 1894 when he was just 16 years old. When he died the collection had grown to a huge size and now has over 700 figures along with thousands of photographs and playbills, and a library of books.
