Music To Colonial Ears, Dewitt Wallace Museum, Williamsburg, Virginia


As hard as it may be for us to conceive, colonials could not turn on the radio, iPod or MP3 player to have music; they had to make it their own. The Dewitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum displays a number of musical instruments, including this fine wood working specimen.
