Today our Ambassadors' group went to the Music House Museum in Traverse City for our September outing. There are extensive galleries that display organs, pianos, radios and phonographs. They have a one-of-a-kind collection of rare antique musical instruments and music- making machines that date from 1870 through 1930.
Going through the Music House Museum is like a walk back in time... we enjoyed an hour-long musical tour where they explained and demonstrated the unique instruments: Belgian dance organ, nickelodeons, music boxes, pipe organs and the Wurlitzer Theater Organ. It would have been so fun to have Elizabeth along to play the different organs for us!

As soon as I saw the pic of the organ I immediately thought of Elizabeth. :-) What a fun & interesting tour.
