Tucked away in a not-so-dusty corner of Stark's Vacuum Cleaner Sales & Service in downtown Portland is a collection that would make any prop master, house wife, or history buff slobber with excitement. Stark's is home to a small but very comprehensive Vacuum Cleaner Museum. The walls of their rear showroom are lined with over 300 different models of vacuums, from their oldest, a two person hand pumped wood and steel number, to "futuristic" dustbusters from the 1960's and even a few upright wands that look like they were meant to smoke out bees, not suck up dirt.

Interesting! A vacuum cleaner museum. You are right. Those who use vacuum cleaners will enjoy seeing its evolution.
