The only permanent museum dedicated to the show… Mark Racop’s Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum — aka the Batman ’66 Museum — in Logansport, Indiana, needs a helping hand with some repair work and has set up a $12,000 gofundme account, if you’re interested. One thing to get clear right off the, well, bat: The museum is not in danger in closing, Mark told me. That said, an anticipated $200,000 grant fell through, leaving the world’s only permanent museum dedicated to the 1966 Batman show, starring Adam West, scrambling for money for necessary renovations. “We are shining the Bat-Signal once again, ardently asking for your help,” the gofundme reads. “The grant we were working towards was to replace our 46 windows. We’ve lost a few over this fall and winter from the fierce winds. … We were just informed this past week that our furnace is not salvageable. They no longer even manufacture the parts for it. Brand new HVAC is on the list because of age and inefficiency. Gas bills are four digits for about a quarter of the year. Two severe storms ago, we lost the gable atop the roof. It is temporarily back in place, but needs (to be) properly restored.” There’s more and you can check out the campaign here. It also has a list of exhibit needs, including murals, statues, screen-used props, and more.

Please help us in any way that you can. Even if it’s just sharing our campaign. Your support means more than you know! Thank you so much” One thing to point out in the interest of transparency: The museum, which opened on Halloween in 2024, is not a non-profit. But that doesn’t mean that something that has clearly given so many so much joy in the last 18 months couldn’t use a boost — especially since it’s Batman’s 60th anniversary year. One of the most popular stories in 13th Dimension’s history was Walt Grogan’s account of his road trip with buddy Frank Bonilla to the museum. The headline alone — We Took a Three-Hour Road Trip to the New BATMAN ’66 MUSEUM — and...
