Who knows what kind of delights are waiting just down the road. Today in the town of Austin, Minnesota, we discovered the Spam Museum. It’s a delightfully fun trip through the history of Hormel Foods in general and Spam in particular. There’s been a Hormel Museum since 1991 but this particular completely redesigned one opened in 2016 as the company was celebrating its 125th Anniversary. Part of the fun are the Spambassadors circulating to answer questions, take your photo, or to offer you a Spample of the iconic spiced ham on a pretzel stick! Definitely worth the stop!
