The tour included a stop at the “The Beat Goes On” exhibit, which features the extended history of music of Salem, and an opportunity to hear the Brooks Bowman song, “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” as played on a newly restored player piano.

The group learned that George Chappell, Mr. Smith’s grandfather, was an early conductor of the Quaker City Band, organized in 1896 and known today as the American Legion Band. The museum is open to visitors from 1 to 4 p.m. each Sunday.
