HIGHLY recommend this museum--it is very interactive whether you play organ/piano or not. There is a $5 entry fee per visitor. The museum is run entirely by volunteers. The museum is in one of the old buildings of the Estey organ factory and they have dozens of organs on display, and you can play all of them! Some of the organs are more than 100 years old! They also have a small, interactive lap organ exhibit. Some organs you have to pump the bellows yourself to play, some organs have electrically powered bellows, and one organ they have on display has space between the organ and the pipes so you can see the mechanics of the organ at work. Fun, interactive, and educational.

Amazing! Many of the organs on display were playable, and the place is run entirely by volunteers. The one we met on the day of was very knowledgeable and happy to tell us all about the history and development of the pan company. Well worth the $5 entry, especially if you have someone with you who plays organ or piano!

Only open in the summer season, but you can play all the instruments. They even have a walk through like organ.

Nice friendly staff. Great display needs a little work. Hours are limited but worth the wait.

A wonderful hands-on (and feet-on) experience for all ages! There are, basically, two rules: 1. If you see it, you may touch it. 2. If it plays, you may play it. And many of the instruments DO still play, so you dont have to stand around and think, I wonder what that sounds like? There are plenty of reeds and pipe styles to look at. Also, there are lots of photographs, pieces of equipment that were used to build myriad organs, and signs with historical and descriptive information, so you really get a sense of how this company worked assiduously to bring music into so many homes and houses of worship. A very friendly docent greeted us and even played some music on the pipe organ that is set up so that you can walk through it and be enveloped by sound as you look at pipes large and small. We would highly recommend taking time to visit and explore this terrific place! Kudos to the wonderful volunteers who make this museum work!

Coming up from North Carolina and in the area for a family wedding, John was generous and gracious enough to open up the museum for me a week after it officially closed for the season.They have a great variety of instruments of all shapes, sizes, and styles. Some incredibly rare and ornate.Highly recommended for any organist, pianist, keyboardist, musician, and history buff all around. You will see and hear some pretty cool things!

Pretty cool. You can play the organs.

Great museum, you can play music there!

John was an excellent guide during our visit
