The American Giants Museum is happy to announce that Joel Baker, American Giants, LLC, will be the Volunteer Docent at the Museum on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 1-4 p.m. and on Sunday, November 3, from 10 a.m.-Noon. This is your chance to meet the man behind the giants in person!

Baker will be speaking at the Route 66 Miles of Possibility Conference in Edwardsville, Illinois on Friday, November 1.

While in the area, he will be dropping off a new and very special artifact at the American Giants Museum—a Shoney's Big Boy giant.

The public is invited to come meet Joel Baker at the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois that Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy the many unique exhibits at the American Giants Museum and check out its newest artifact - the Shoney's Big Boy!

The American Giants Museum tells the story of the kitschy and quirky “Muffler Man/Bunyan Giant” statues that sprang up in the 1960s as advertising gimmicks across the USA. Today, they are some of the most popular sights for tourists traveling Historic Route 66.

The American Giants Museum is operated by the Atlanta Betterment Fund, a 501 (c)(3) organization, established in 2008 through private donations and administered by a board of directors. Its mission is to make Atlanta a better place to live by supporting local business, as well as its civic and religious organizations.
