Free nonprofit condiment museum, commercial mustard gift shop and a tasting bar with more than a hundred samples under one roof.
The National Mustard Museum's nonprofit exhibit space holds more than 6,000 mustards from all 50 states and more than 70 countries, plus mustard pots, tins, advertisements and other memorabilia. Admission is free. In the same destination, a legally separate for-profit company operates the Gourmet Gift Shop and online store; its free Tasting Bar offers samples from more than a hundred best-selling mustards and sauces, while the shop carries hundreds of condiments, snacks and souvenirs. That entity distinction matters even though visitors experience one address. The museum also hosts the annual National Mustard Day festival and World-Wide Mustard Competition, but no expired event date is presented as current.
