Nutcracker Museum Earns Guinness Book of World Records Certificate

2022 started off with a surprise for Ms. Arlene Wagner (aka The Nutcracker Lady), who soon learned that the Nutcracker Museum had officially held the largest collection of nutcrackers in the world. In September of 2021, the Guinness World Records committee and Ms. Wagner counted all 9,103 nut-cracking devises three times to be official.

Cofounders George and Arlene Wagner founded the Nutcracker Museum in 1995. Since then, the museum has been featured on CBS News, The Food Network and Ms.Wagner was a special guest on the Conan O'Brien Show.

Some of the highlights of the museum include their 6 foot Karl, and also the largest Rat King nutcracker, along with the countless other nut-cracking devices that date back to the Archaic period. You can visit and see all the nutcrackers and learn more about the museum at 735 Front Street in Leavenworth. Or visit here.
