2014 National Show - Bolack Electro-Mechanical Museum

Tommy has one of the most spectacular collections of all things electical. It is distributed across his beautiful house and three giant pole barns on the ranch. His house is a unique design that is fully custom. All the stonework on the house is petrified rock! There are several fireplaces that are built with end cut petrified logs making for a wonderful look. Another interesting design element of the house is the front roof comes to a peak which acts as a sun dial with markings on the front porch as well. The woodwork in the house is also unique. Much of the glass insulator collection is displayed in the house. Note also that there is a world class and fully curated wildlife museum as well!
