    Default Virtual Tours

    Anyone looking to take a walk through Elderly today can take this virtual tour. Does anyone have any other tours that we all might enjoy?

    Excuse me, sir. Can you direct me to the mandolin department. I did find the men's room and way too many guitars. Please, sir...

    Ah, I made it!

    Jim, the men's room is just on the right as you enter.....

    Have spent a lot of time in that room.
    Driving up to Elderly isn't quite as much fun since the Tuba Museum in Okemos has closed.
    Hungarian food and tubas. Who could ask for anything more?

    I laugh a little every time I go for a visit and look up and remember that the place was an “Odd Fellows” hall!
    Something very fitting about that.

    I recall that there is a very cool and large painting of a Civil War officer in the men's room. Not sure the video tour would include that.

    Thanks to you all - I took the Elderly tour several times and never found the mandolins, only lots of guitars. I play guitar too, but I wanted to see the mandolins. Now I have seen them. I need to make the trip someday when we are all loose again!

    Not quite the same "Google maps" technology but here is the virtual tour of the National Music Museum.

    Then there is the searchable Music Museums Online tour. Bowlback lovers should appreciate this one.

    Probably something like this would work. Thanks, I hadn't even thought of doing the search and saving it.
