Knoebels Amusement Resort Band Organs, Part 3/3
By Cassidy Juraniec
The Wurlitzer 165 Band Organ and the Carousel Museum
Hello! My good friend, Tom Iannucci, and I paid a visit yesterday
to Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania; see
https://knoebels.com/
This is the third of three articles I am writing about Knoebels.
This one will cover the carousel museum and the Wurlitzer 165 there.
Just outside a gift shop is a Wurlitzer 165 organ that constantly
plays as guests walk by. It is a nice sounding 165 band organ they
have there. Here is my video of the Wurlitzer 165 from Knoebels:

Within the park near another gift shop is a carousel museum which
displays carousel collectables -- actual antique carousel figures
from scrapped carousels, as well as facts about the history of the
artifacts there and history on carousels.
The other remaining parts of the former Clementon Park carousel
(PTC #49), aside from the Wilhelm Bruder Soehne (WBS) Model 79
48-keyless organ that plays style 125 rolls, are two horses that are
now on display since it was sold for scrap.
Knoebels Amusement Resort itself is a carousel and band organ
enthusiast's paradise. The museum itself is the icing on the cake.
