Rosary Museum

Tucked away in the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum in Stevenson, Washington, is the largest collection of rosaries and prayer beads in the world; more than 4000 of them, including one that belonged to John F. Kennedy and another sixteen feet long. The collection is so big it was featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Harriet Baskas has the story.
