If you're here... either Dylan thought you would find this hilarious... or we sent you the wrong invitation.
Either way, hilarity ensues...

The Mercer Museum is a National Historic Landmark located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, archeologist Henry Chapman Mercer began collecting the pre-industrial hand tools and implements of the past. Mercer believed that the story of human progress and accomplishments was told by the tools and objects that people used, and saw these time-honored crafts slowly disappearing from memory.
Made out of poured-in-place concrete, the Museum was completed in 1916 to house vast collection of early American objects and artifacts. It contains displays the furnishings of early America, plus a whaleboat, carriages, stove plates, a gallows, antique fire engines, and the Lenape Stone. It also houses the Spruance Library on its third floor.
The Museum is one of three poured-in-place concrete structures built by Mercer. The others include Fonthill, which served as his home; and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, both of which are located approximately one mile away.
Henry Ford stated that the Mercer museum was the only museum worth visiting in the United States, and the Mercer Museum was apparently Henry Ford's inspiration for his own museum, The Henry Ford, located in Dearborn, Michigan. The Mercer Museum houses over forty thousand artifacts from early American society.
