Quote of the Day:

Said by our illustrious Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin commented, "To err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish."

This Day in History:

The citizens of Birmingham, Alabama burned albums and memorabilia associated with the Beatles in reaction to controversial comments made in an interview by John Lennon.

American Treasure Tour  
Possessing one of the world's finest collections of Americana, we have nickelodeons (mechanical music players - not to be confused with the basic cable station for kids, although kids love us, too), band organs, antique cars - some of which are over one hundred years old, store animations, and simply too much more to describe, since it has to be experienced to be believed.  

Come to Oaks, PA and experience the tour, either as part of a group (15 people minimum - call 610-666-0363 for reservations), or as part of a walk-in tour, the first Saturday of every month! No reservations required.
