Collector extraordinaire Bill Cunningham invites everyone to check out his ultimate idea of a man cave.
Located just twenty minutes outside of Memphis, Cunningham’s man cave can easily be missed by passersby. With the outside appeal of a garage, Cunningham says that the best part of his man cave is being able to watch peoples’ facial expressions when they first walk in.
“They have a dumfounded look on their face, mouth open, eyes wide, trying to take it all in,” says Cunningham.
Unlike most man caves, stocked at least with a TV, Cunningham’s personalized man cave is filled with trinkets that he has collected throughout his entire lifetime. Visitors won’t need a television when surrounding by hundreds to thousands of extraordinary collectables to keep their eyes busy. In fact, it is nearly impossible to see everything that Cunningham’s man cave has to offer in one short visit.
Cunningham’s giant hobby shop was something that he learned from his parents, carrying on their memory.
“Both my parents were collectors, Cunningham says, “Dad was a car collector extraordinaire and a handy man beyond belief, he taught me and my brothers all about tools and working on cars, restoring cars.”
Although it seems that one person would eventually run out of things to collect, Cunningham does not see an end to his passion and looks forward to continuing to create a place where himself and his guests can come and, “get away from it all, a place to unwind, get absorbed in a project or just sit out here and enjoy the surroundings,” says Bill.
Loving the company, Cunningham’s Man Cave is open to the public so whether you are a local and just so happened to miss the hidden treasure while driving by, or if you are moving to Memphis, be sure to swing by and spend some time with Bill.
