For more than 25 years my husband Patrick Acton has built large-scaled models out of wooden matchsticks.  You can view some of these amazing models at Gladbrook's City Center in the Matchstick Marvels Museum.  (Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for kids.)
 
 
All proceeds go to Gladbrook City Center.
