About Us:
Welcome to the New England Accordion Connection & Museum Company (NEACMC). Our museum is one of only two accordion museums located in the USA. NEACMC is a collection of antique and modern accordions as well as related memorabilia. One of our main priorities is to keep the spirit and influence of the accordion alive. NEACMC exists to display vintage and modern accordions for the general public’s enjoyment and edification. Our goal is to find and save any and all old accordions and memorabilia so that people interested in this instrument, especially children, will learn to play and enjoy what many people have experienced over the last 200 years with accordions.
Paul Ramunni opened the museum in October 2011 located in separate renovated spaces attached to his personal residence in North Canaan Connecticut. In 2021 the museum relocated to the Canaan Union Railroad Station in downtown, North Canaan, CT. We display models from the very beginning of the accordion era starting in 1820 all the way up to the current day. We have a growing collection of over 400 rare accordions extending from the early 1800’s on up to the 1960’s. Our sales room contains another 100+ modern day accordions available for purchase. The accordions are of various makes and designs; there is something for everyone to sample and try.
We also service and repair accordions.
