The Bundy Baking Museum
The Bundy Baking Museum is a result of Russell T. Bundy’s 40-plus year passion to collect and preserve the rich history of the baking industry, including vintage and modern signage, vehicles, advertising, and even turn-of-the century baking equipment. The museum is a private collection and is not open to the public.
