The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is pleased to announce groundbreaking on their long-anticipated Music Hall project. The new Music Hall will allow for a dedicated temperature and humidity controlled exhibit space for the museum’s band organ collection as well as display space for the Wurlitzer Perforation Department exhibit. This exhibit is the only place in the world where band organ rolls are still produced using all historically correct equipment and methods. The museum is privileged to be working with Eco-Logic Studios and RP Oak Hill to make this project a reality. The Herschell Factory Carrousel Museum will remain fully operational during construction, and we kindly ask you to pardon our dust during this expansion process. A public opening  of the Music Hall is expected in 2025. Follow us on social media and on our website for updates on the project!
