In this episode, Kylie and Clarissa step into the Victorian era to explore how music shaped life at home. They highlight two artifacts from the Chewning House—a portable melodeon and a hand-cranked Regina music box—and what they reveal about technology, social life, and the role of music in the 19th century. They also connect these historic sounds to Fredericksburg’s music scene today and invite you to see the instruments on display in the museum.
