Mechanical Music at Mill Bridge Village
By Mike Roseboom

Back in 1994 I visited Mill Bridge Village, a camping resort
and historic attraction in near Strasburg, in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania.  One of the buildings housed a collection of automatic
instruments.  I remember seeing a Kuhl and Klatt orchestrion,
a National piano with the roll changer, a rare Link cabinet piano
with art glass, a large early barrel piano with percussion, an Estey
Minuette organ in a grand piano case, a Wurlitzer 125 band organ,
and other machines.

I recently contacted the resort and was told the collection was
no longer there.  Does anyone know where the instruments went?
