Hi.  It is me, Ben Waterbury.  I visited the Circus World Museum this
summer and would like to share the experience with you.  Circus World,
located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, has a great collection of rare and unusual
musical instruments, including band organs.  One of the organs is a
Wurlitzer 165.  They also have two Gavioli organs, one roll operated and
one book music operated, and a Wurlitzer 125.

If you're interested, the Great Circus Parade is happening in summer
2009.  Unfortunately, they won't transport the wagons by train due to
the age of their flatcars.  Nevertheless, it should be a most enjoyable
experience.  If I were to make a list of the top-ten most recommended
attractions in Wisconsin, the Circus World Museum would be at the top.
