The Folk Music Center Museum was established in 1958 by Charles and Dorothy Chase, the parents of Grammy-winning musician Ben Harper.
The museum features over 1,000 instruments from around the world, including rare and antique pieces.
In addition to its displays, the museum hosts workshops, concerts, and community events to promote folk music and culture.
The museum's founder, Charles Chase, was actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement and used music as a tool for social change.
The Folk Music Center Museum has been operated by the Chase family for over six decades, maintaining its personal and community-focused atmosphere.
