 The New England Accordion Connection and Museum Co. has now moved into new premises at 75 Main Street, Canaan Union Railroad Station, Canaan, Connecticut, 06018, USA. Museum curator Paul Ramunni (picture left) extends an invitation to visitors, announcing “We've been open at our new location for over 10 days now and something amazing has been happening. At least 200 people have come through our doors, most of whom I never met before.” The Museum is open 7 days a week and holds “hundreds of accordions from floor to ceiling.” The collection follows the development of accordions from around 1900 through the height of their popularity in the 1950’s and today’s instruments. It includes button, piano and even digital accordions. Among their vintage treasures are a rare 1829 ‘Flutina’, Art Deco wonders of the 1920's and 1930's and Lawrence Welk’s first accordion. Visitors should be sure to look for the spectacular instrument that once belonged to Barbara O’Connell, who entertained over 300,000 troops during WWII, many of them mere hours away from deploying to the front lines. |
