<p>Music House Museum<br />
Located among the cherry orchards near Acme. Visitors are treated to an hour guided tour through a large collection of rare automated musical instruments, many of them 19th century antiques. Player pianos, church organs, air-powered music machines, early phonographs and radios, and colorful early jukeboxes fill the renovated white barn that houses the collection.  The highlight of the tour is a boisterous demonstration of the Amaryllis, a 30-foot-wide, 18-foot-tall automated organ that entertained folks in the 1920s at the Victoria Palace ballroom in Ypres, Belgium. The rare, ornate device uses dozens of specially voiced organ pipes and percussion instruments to produce the sound of a large European orchestra</p>
