2, JULY/AUGUST. 1991 THE AMICA NEWS BULLETIN President's Message As we havejustcome outofthetravel season, I thoughtI'd mentionagaina subject I've covered before, that of a listing in the NEWS BULLETIN of places of interest to AMICAns. Thefirsttime I mentionedthis and suggestedpeople tellme ofplaces theyhave visited that relate to our hobby I received exactly' no response. Perhaps in this age everyone flies to a specific destination, doesjustwhat theywentto do, andflies back. Still, there must be others like myselfwho prefer to drive and explore the country. Anyway I thought I'd trot this out once more and then I'll drop it. To give you an idea of what I had in mind let me mention some places we have enjoyed and think you might too. Often we stumble on these places by accident and we wonder how many great things we have been within a few mile of but did not know existed.This spring we happened to be in Atlanta, Georgia and went out to a park in nearby Stone Mountain where we discovered they have a museum. It features a nice collection ofautomobiles but has a number ofmusical instruments such as 68 and 10I-keyMortiers, assortedSeeburgand Link machines, etc. there mustbe a couple ofdozen instruments not countingjuke boxes. They also have a nice collection ofold toys. The parkhas the Bells ofStone Mountain Carillon but we were there at the wrong time to hear it play. Up near Traverse City, Michigan there is the Music House which was featured in the last issue of.the NEWS BULLETIN. This place is outstanding for the way things are displayed and for the excellent condition of all the instruments. Theylook and sound as they should. Instruments range from music boxes and pianosto large bandorgans. They also have a nice collection ofearly radios. This is a must see ifyou are anywhere in the area. Sandusky, Ohio has a carousel museum. It wasjustgettingunderway when we were there last summer. Ifyou like carousels, don't pass up this one.
