Deansboro Museum
By Joe Hutter

Just a point of information. I have recently visited 'The Musical Museum' at
Deansboro this past August. It is in fact a good idea to see what their
hours are before making the trip. However, I wouldn't lose any sleep over
whether or not they're open. Basically, every machine that I saw was out of
tune and severely damaged. About half of them didn't work at all.  To the
un-initiated, the instruments would appear as a bunch of junk. If you're
looking to hear these machines as your primary reason for going there,
don't. If you're interested in seeing representative examples of
nickelodeons, pipe organs, reed organs, barrel organs, and other hand
cranked miscellany, it might be worth a visit on that level.
