Unique and interesting museum dedicated to the victrola. RCA Victors founder was born in Dover, hence the connection. History buffs and music lovers will find this a worthwhile visit. Also, fans of Nipper the dog will love the collection on the second floor. Best of all, its free on the first Saturday of every month, although a donation is always nice.

A museum dedicated to the founder of the Victrola record machine? I was surprised as you are, but not as surprised as I was as how enjoyable the facility turned out to be! Great free 30 minute tour that goes over the history of manufacturing of the machines and Johnson Victrola.

This is a great place to visit. Gavin gave us a great tour and played records on the Victrolas. The museum has 2 floors with a great selection. The origins of the Walkman, iPod, tape recorder and jukebox can be traced back to many items in this museum.

Great collection of victrola machines and memorabilia. Friendly and knowledgeable docents make for a great visit. Worth stopping in if you are in the Dover area. No admission fee, so its a budget friendly outing.
