Description: Twenty years ago, Avery and Doris Sisk made a unique purchase at a Hickory flea market: a lot of 750 coffee mugs for just $15. This modest beginning marked the start of a remarkable journey. Avery, along with his sister Ruby, began displaying these mugs in a corner of their cabin's front porch, and word quickly spread. Over the years, their collection has grown exponentially, now reaching a staggering 30,000 mugs. These mugs don't just adorn the cabin's fence and archway; they have also spilled over to occupy an entire second house. What's even more remarkable is that their collection has become a global attraction. People from all corners of the world make pilgrimages to witness this incredible spectacle and often contribute a mug of their own to the ever-expanding collection. The Sisks' coffee mug display has evolved into a legendary destination where the stories and memories of countless visitors blend with the eclectic assortment of mugs, creating a one-of-a-kind experience.
