American Treasure Tour, Pop culture museum in Oaks, United States.
American Treasure Tour is a museum in Oaks, Pennsylvania, displaying vintage automobiles, mechanical music devices, toys, and entertainment memorabilia from everyday American life in the 20th century. The collection fills a vast former industrial building divided into sections that visitors explore partly by tram and partly on foot.
The building that houses the museum was originally an industrial facility before it was converted for exhibition use. The owner spent decades collecting everyday objects and vehicles from American popular culture before opening the space to the public.
Mechanical music machines, arcade games, and fairground devices from the 20th century show how Americans spent their free time before digital entertainment existed. Many of these objects spark personal memories for older visitors, while younger ones encounter them for the first time.
The museum opens Friday through Sunday and tours are led by guides who take visitors through the large hall on a tram. The facility is wheelchair accessible and has its own parking lot, making a visit by car very convenient.
The Toy Box and the Music Room can be explored without a guide, at your own pace, which gives the visit a very different rhythm from the tram tour. The Music Room holds one of the largest private collections of working mechanical instruments in the US, and visitors can hear many of them play live.
