2025
We will temporarily be closed for renovations starting December 1, 2024, and ending March 31, 2025. We will create new exhibits for the phonograph donations we have received over the last few years and a music library for the museum’s collection of cylinders, 78 RPM records, and vinyl. Also, we are updating our ten media players. These renovations will enhance and expand our visitors’ experience.
We look forward to seeing you in the Spring of 2025!
