The Barbershop Hall of Fame & Museum, which opened under the auspices of the Vocal Group Hall last month, pays tribute to the National Winners of the yearly Barbershop Quartet and Sweet Adeline competition from the past century through photo and memorabilia exhibits. The museum has such unique features as a walk-through barbershop of yore and plans to be a full music research facility and library.
