Look, listen and feel the music of the past—from archival footage and photographs collected and compiled over 25 years and actual instruments of the time period from the museum’s collection. Portraits of men, women and children as well as Civil War soldiers, cowboys, farmers, and mid-class Victorians coupled next to a variety of guitars, banjos, mandolins, pianos and brass horns adorn the walls while real instruments of the same time are placed throughout the exhibit space.
