Visit the Westchester Township History Museum between 1-4p on Saturday, March 23, for the exhibit opening of New Era Guitars: Making Music in the Dunes.

This new exhibit highlights the life and career of local guitar builder Tony Klassen. Klassen was an artist, self-taught musician, naturalist, and handyman. His home in Furnessville was his solace and, eventually, his workshop, where he built and sold guitars for 16 years.

This exhibit opening at the Westchester Township History Museum (WTHM) is free and open to the public. Although not formally linked, the WTHM and PoCo Muse work together regularly.
