Pittsburgh Things to Do Tips by VonMinx

Trundle Manor

Trundle Manor, convienently located right off the Parkway in Swissvale, is the home of the Secret Society of Odd Acquisition, as well as a Wunderkammer/House of Oddities. A fun, quirky "tourist trap" destination, you will find one of the most bizarre collections in the country featuring dead things in jars, vintage taxidermy, antique medical devices, rusty cleavers and other weaponry, coffins, Steampunk sculptures, various types of artwork, and even a Singing Tumor and Dancing Midget! You won't want to miss this!

Also an artists' residence, tours are by appointment only. Call 412-916-5544.

Tours are free, but the owner/collector/head of the SSOA, Mr. ARM, asks for a donation (which could include dead or weird things!)
