Calliope at Alpenrose Dairy Park, Portland
By Sharon Hart

Hi.  Just wondering if you had heard of a place in Oregon called
Alpenrose Dairy.  I had the pleasure of hearing a steam calliope that
they had restored which was out for a visit to a town nearby.

I understand that they have a museum which features many mechanical
musical items.  Address is: 6149 SW Shattuck Rd., Portland OR.
On the map it's between Beaverton, Portland and Hillsdale.  Phone is
503-244-1133.

I understand from talking with the gentleman that they have many
classic rolls.  Might be a good contact for one of your members.

Keep that music rollin',

Sharon Hart (still havin' a ball with my l917 Aeolian)

 [ It's a lot more than just a herd of cows!  The park is 52 acres,
 [ and includes a music shop and an opera house with a big Skinner
 [ theatre organ.  See
