"For more than 100 years, all-metal kazoos have been made in this little Erie County factory. The Original Kazoo Company and Museum still makes the only all-metal kazoo in North America. You can't miss this museum building because it has a 6-foot-long red-and-gold metal kazoo on the roof! The factory was established in 1916, and tours show that much of the original machinery is still used to make these little noisemakers."
"When is a bottle more than just a bottle? The answer: When it is a unique artifact reflecting the changing times in American history over the last 150 years. The National Bottle Museum has more than 3,000 bottles on display. Expert docents can tell you a fascinating story about each bottle in their massive collection. More interesting than it might first sound. You will learn much at here, and not just about glass bottles."
Upstate New York contains a rich array of museums, from nationally known institutions to small, specialty sites. Ten lesser-known museums provide off-the-beaten-path experiences that illuminate unique slices of Americana. The Original Kazoo Company and Museum in Erie County has produced all-metal kazoos since 1916, uses much original machinery, and displays a six-foot red-and-gold kazoo on its roof. The National Bottle Museum in Ballston Spa houses over 3,000 bottles and offers docent-led stories connecting local glassmaking to Saratoga Springs and oddities such as privy bottles. The North American Fiddlers' Museum sits tucked into the Tug Hill Plateau, offering another distinct cultural destination.
