The Museum of Americanism.
The secret Klan museum is where Klan artifacts, records, history, memorabilia, and all other documentation and relics of the KKK (as far as is known and preserved) are stored.. Do not ask the location of the museum. Do not ask if you can visit the museum. The answer is "NO!" Only a select few who are in the "know" are permitted to see the museum. None of these items are for sale. They are museum exhibits only.
(1) The home of the
secret Klan museum?? I bought this building at a tax auction for $327.00. It used to be an
Odd Fellows lodge and could have also been a Klavern Hall in the 1920's. It would have
cost a lot to renovate it, but with the help of the Indiana Klan, it could have been done.
However, as usual, the Indiana KKK destroyed itself. So, the building was torched for fire
drill practice for the local fire department and I sold the land for $1,500.00. Not a bad
profit. Since I moved to Indiana in 1990, I have seen about ten different KKK
organizations start up only to fall apart (these idiots never learn). There are still some
wannabes at it, but after all the other fly by night Klan groups, I consider Indiana as
being "Klanned out".
(2) Why not bake a Ku Klux
Kake?
(3) A few (a very few) of the
numerous different types of Klan calling cards. Modern Klan Era.

(7) The above four photos are from a huge wall plaque
that was too large for just one photo. It gives the secret codes of the KKK of the Revival
(second) Klan Era.
(8) The banner of the Albert
Pike Klavern #2, in Rutherford, New Jersey. Confederate General Albert Pike was the chief
judicial officer of the original KKK. He was also a major figure in Scottish Rite Masonry.
He is buried in the Masonic Lodge in Washington, D.C. not far from the White House.

(10) Original 1920's Klan banners. Left: From
Pennsylvania. Right: From Indiana.
(11) Klan altar. The yellow
banner is 1970's from Bucks County, PA. The white banner from Binghamton, N.Y. The
American flag must always be present and is one of the seven symbols of the Klan (contrary
to modern myth, the Confederate flag is not and never was a Klan symbol). The cross is
also one of the seven symbols and the one on the table is a neon light that flashes on and
off. The robe and mask are two more symbols of the Klan.
(12) Another view of the
altar. The remaining symbols of the Klan are water (seen here in the chalice), the sword
(which is lying under the flag), and the Bible which must be opened to the twelfth
chapter of Romans. The twelfth chapter of Romans is a Klansman's law of life. It's a pity
more Klansmen don't know that.
(13) Klan altar from 1989.
The banner is the standard modern Klan Era banner.
(14) Two 1990's modern Klan
banners.
(15) Klan rally shield,
1990's, donated to the Museum of Americanism by the Liberty Knights of the KKK. From the
1980's onward, public Klan rallies have attracted such violent anti-Klan factions that
Klansmen resorted to using shields to protect themselves.
(16) Klan china sugar bowl
and creamer. At it's height the Klan had a numerous variety of china items, all of which
are rare today and are of historic and collector's value.
