The American
Giants Museum was designed and developed as a partnership
between American Giants founder, Joel Baker, and the Atlanta
Betterment Fund organization. The project received assistance
from the City of Atlanta, the Illinois Department of Tourism,
and the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway Program. Several years
ago, Baker approached the Atlanta Betterment Fund organization
with the idea of creating an American Giants Museum. Baker’s
collection of giants, sales materials, files, photos, and other
documents from International Fiberglass are the basis for the
museum’s exhibits, giving Route 66 tourists the chance to see,
learn about, and interact with what will be the largest single
collection of American Giants anywhere along Route 66.
The Atlanta Betterment Fund is a 501 (c)(3) organization,
established in 2008 through private donations and administered
by a board of directors. Its mission is to make Atlanta a better
place to live by supporting its business, civic, and religious
organizations.
