Star Trek Voyage Home Museum

Nation

Did you know this Iowa town is the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk? His 23rd century D.O.B. (March 22, 2228) is engraved in a stone monument located behind a hair salon. While they first claimed the Starship Enterprise captain in 1985, the museum didn't open its doors until 2008. It's since become a hub for Star Trek collectibles, home-built exhibits, and alternate history disputes.
