Was there last summer, great displays covering the history of communication and entertainment. Worth the trip. There is the New England Air Museum next to Bradly airport also. The people in the Winsor Locks area are so nice. These two must see places alone are worth the time to visit the area!

Speechless. Just wonderful. Thanks!

I've known Skip for years. He really enjoys conducting tours. He can sometimes be found at ARRL HQ conducting tours.

Thanks for the video, what a cool place! That piano with the built in phonograph / radio is really neat. I believe Thomas organ co. made something in a similar vein called the "Thomas Music Center" - an organ with built in phonograph. No radio tuner though. I worked at a museum that had a Lowery Organo which was a retrofit that could be added to acoustic pianos and give them organ sounds. There were also versions built right into standard upright pianos.

He has a beautiful voice. American classic.

Don't take everything to the bank the docent, Skip, said about motion pictures. The second carbon-arc lamp was NOT hand-fed. It was a motor-driven axial arc lamp as perfected by Harry H. Strong of the Strong Electric Corporation in Toledo, OH. If a guide is there to teach history, you need to make sure his comments are factual. I know because I ran the damn things as an IATSE projectionist 50 years ago.
