Website

Famed and yet unknown Portland adventurer Conrad Talmadge Elwood spent a life time traveling the globe in search of the inexplicable and the freaky. Established in 1967, The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium is a one-of-a-kind Art gallery begrudgingly devoted to Elwood's blurry vision. Visitors can discover interactive art and installations for all six senses, including novelties, gags, books, original artwork, shirts, stickers, one-of-a-kind oddities, and more, complete with edible insects and the likes.

Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. You do not have to pay entry to the museum itself to roll the pennies. $10 admission, $7 on Tuesdays. Decent costumes and pets get in free. Plenty of metered pay parking on the street.

Machine 1 is inside to the right of the ticket booth. Cost to press: 51¢ each design. Designs all have a beaded border with 'Freakybuttrue Peculiarium™ Portland':
1. (V) Alien holding a wrench with 'The OR'.
2. (V) Fly-man head with 'The Oregon'.
3. (V) Giant octopus tenacle grabbing the Fremont bridge with 'Oregon USA'.
4. (V) Silhouette of Bigfoot with 'See Bigfoot Oregon USA'.
