Named in honor of the businessman and inventor Eldridge Reeves Johnson, the Johnson Victrola Museum provides a comprehensive introduction to the history of the sound recording industry. The exhibits are full of photos and objects detailing the life of Johnson, the history of the Victor Talking Machine Company, and the evolution of recorded sound, and there's even a Grammy award that Johnson received in 1985. There's also a collection of old record players on display, and the staff are happy to play a song or two upon request. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, and tours are available by donation.
