The National Cigar Box Guitar Museum

Location: Located in York, PA, inside the historic Central Market House.  Space has been donated by the soon-to-be-opened ANIMAL FARM MICROBREWERY AND RESTAURANT.

Opening: Spring 2004

Curator: Shane W. Speal Sr.

Info :  The museum exhibit will showcase the smallest niche in music history...the great CIGAR BOX GUITAR.  On display will be many different cigar box guitars, banjos, ukuleles and violins...including a cigar box fiddle dated 1889!  Also on display will be "how to" plans from 1882, 1912 and 1949.

Each instrument tells a story and you'll be able to read about each one.  See pictures of musicians playing cigar box guitars.  Read about Jimi Hendrix' first instrument and Blind Willie Johnson's 1-string.  more...
