The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am flying to NJ tomorrow to go the Hershey show and then the Wayne show. I was planning on seeing the Edison museum in West Orange, NJ on Thursday. Is it true that it's closed due to the government shut down?

It seems that anything to do with American History and what made our nation great and free, is closed. To be fair, I blame both parties for it. I would say more, but we no longer have freedom of speech in this country.

Please don't, lest I should need to remind you of what happened to the old forum.

Did you call? There are a lot of volunteers that work there. Unpaid and very friendly.

I was at the Johnson Victrola Museum last weekend and it was open. It depends if it is a federal or state run site. National Parks, monuments and sites will most likely be closed, state parks should be open.

The Edison site is run by the National Park Service, and it's presently closed because of the government shutdown.
