Twenty-five talking machines, with their elaborate horns, are currently on exhibit at the 1891 summer estate home of 

John E Roosevelt.

Thomas Alva Edison invented the machine in the late 19th century. This special exhibit at Meadow Croft, from a private collection, displays some examples from Edison’s first tin-foil phonograph to today’s iPod player.

“His Master’s Voice” and the little dog “Nipper”, became the world-famous logo of the RCA Victor Talking Machine Company.

Meadow Croft is open for public tours 

every Saturday and Sunday, 

2pm through October.
