Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
In 1963, a science fiction television show would initially air on BBC that would eventually take the whole world by storm. That show was Dr. Who, and at the time, there was no way for anyone to know just how epic a legacy the series would have. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the one TV show that’s been on the longest, and it’s safe to say that there are numerous generations of Whovians with their favorite storylines, doctors, and other delights just about everywhere you go. But did you know that, of all places, Indiana is the home of the largest collection of Dr. Who merch and things in the world? It’s true. Head to the tiny town in Indiana known as Camby and check out WHO North: the single most epic pilgrimage for any Dr. Who fan to ever embark upon.
This unassuming, cute little blue building is a treasure trove of delights for those of us who can't get enough of the world's longest television series.
No matter which seasons your favorites are or which Doctors strike your fancy the most, you'll find more amazing artifacts related to each and every iteration than you ever thought possible right within these walls.
There are well over 2,000 items contained here, many of which are for sale - after all, it's both a museum AND a shop.
This is an awesome place to hang out and get lost for hours, making friends with every single other Whovian that happens to walk through those doors while you're here.
Masks. Toys. Games. Collector's items. Costumes. Seriously, the list of inventory is so outrageously vast that there's no chance we'd be able to include every single thing in one short article.
If for some reason you're unable to come check it out in person (or you find things while you're here that you want to purchase later), you can always visit the WHO North America website and check out their sprawling inventory there.
It's 100% ours, and we're proud of it. Besides, this show is beyond iconic, and thusly so too is WHO North America. We can't get enough of it and we think you won't either - ESPECIALLY if you're a Whovian!
So, there you have it – head out to Camby and check it out for yourself (and don’t forget to check out the website). It’s such a hole-in-the-wall that it’s easy to miss, but don’t let the small exterior fool you.
After all, it’s bigger on the inside.
