Wixon's Shovel Museum is a location in the exterior of Nuka-World in 2287.
Layout[]
The museum consists of two floors. On the first floor, there are several display cases holding various items, mostly shovels; 15 shovels are found here in total. Next to some of the display cases are plaques with descriptions of the items. In the gift shop section, an Advanced-locked floor safe is behind the cash register.
On the second floor, there are four desks with terminals. Three of the terminals are broken, but one is functional, and has some corrupted files along with a letter of resignation. Another shovel is in the restroom.
Settlers, scavengers, Gunners, and others may make this location their home, and will likely come under attack by Nuka-World raiders when the Sole Survivor approaches.

Behind the scenes[]
- Based on the location's editor IDs, the museum was created by level designers Bryan Brigner and Ryan Jenkins.
- Two mannequins on the first floor are arranged in a way resembling Grant Wood's painting American Gothic. Instead of a pitchfork, the male mannequin is holding a shovel.
- This location references the real-world town of Easton, Massachusetts, home of the Ames Shovel Shop and the adjacent shovel museum, Stonehill Industrial History Center.
