There is a calliope "museum" just outside of Spring Green, west of
Madison.  They seem to make their actual income selling stuffed animals,
but they had a dozen or so working air calliopes when we passed through
last fall.  There's also a large circus museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin,
(again, not far from Madison) but I've not actually been there and don't
know what they might have.
