Accordion Music ... Bring it On!

This beautiful accordion sits atop of one of our dance hall organs in the Nickelodeon Room.  Lighting features it when the accordion plays along with the organ music.  Just one of thousands of sights and sounds at The American Treasure Tour.  Call us for reservations!

Moving Day ...

Today at the American Treasure Tour we had a bit of a remodel in the Nickelodeon Room so that we could add more mechanical music for our visitors to hear.  Here we see Mark Chester in the background with Marlin Douglass and Joe Helferty in the foreground moving a "red key" Wurlitzer Nickelodeon.  The transformation is complete and we are ready for this week's tour groups.  Shout out to Jay Kreider for the new electrical work and thanks also to Seth Gammache who did all the technical work to make these instruments play at the touch control of our iPads.  There is always something new to see in our 100,000 square feet.
Tours by reservation.  Group size, minimum of fifteen people.
