Treasure Lowdown: Six Roll Wurlitzer

Made in North Tonowanda NY in the early 1900's this Nickelodeon is 

a fabulous Wurlitzer! 

Notice the original art glass and inlaid wood.

This bad boy has a six roll changer with the ability to play

three hours of non-stop music.

You can hear all about this super instrument at the American Treasure Tour.

Memorial Day

Fallen Hero Army Specialist Aaron Davis Fields ~
This is the kind of American Hero that Memorial Day is about:

Spc. Fields from Knightsville Indiana spoke to his mother on the phone last monday morning, May 21^st. He was serving the Army National Guard, 81st Troop Command, as part of Task Force Guardian, a multiunit military police force. He was in Qal-ah-ye Mirza Jal, Afghanistan, going out on patrol later that day. During patrol, he was fatally injured by a rocket propelled grenade.

Our hearts go out to the loved ones of this young man. He was 27 years old. According to an article in Indystar, Spc. Fields was a fisherman as well as an innovative self-taught mechanic. He loved working on his classic cars-- a 1969 Mustang and a 1973 Plymouth Challenger.

Let us not forget the price of Freedom on memorial day and through the year. 

Welcome to The American Treasure Blog!

I am so excited about the wonders at the American Treasure Tour, that I want to share them here with you. I am dedicating this blog to our fine American Military members who are the greatest American Treasure of all. Here at our fun filled tour we get to explore a huge collection of Americana throughout the ages, we sing and laugh and share stories. It is a wonderful time. I think often that it would not be possible without the true American Treasure of the American spirit, our heroes and military who protect our freedoms.

The American Treasure Tour is so named because the collection of wonders that are house in our facility are so immense that a person would feel not only overwhelmed, but perhaps lost and confused if they attempted to wonder the aisles alone as in a museum. Instead, we have arranged the collection into a guided tram tour so that you are outfitted with a knowledgeable tour guide. More like going on a safari...there are beautiful treasures all around, and we are here to see you through, answer your questions, and offer fascinating information about the treasures in our 100,000 square foot facility.

I hope that you will enjoy all that we have to share!
