DESCRIPTION:<p>In 1892, three brothers -- Ed, U.S. and Erastus DeMoulin -- founded a company in Greenville, Illinois that first made fraternal initiation oddities, then later colorful marching band uniforms. They were also the creative geniuses behind peculiar&nbsp;devices like the Ferris Wheel Goat, Lifting &amp; Spanking Machine, and the Trick Chair. Their descendants shepherded the business through graduation caps &amp; gowns, choir robes, church &amp; lodge furniture, and circus outfits before finally settling on marching band uniforms. Over 130 years later, DeMoulin Bros. &amp; Co. is one of six remaining band uniform manufacturers in America.</p>

<p>Join John Goldsmith, founder and curator of the DeMoulin Museum, in this entertaining and quirky presentation with many hands-on&nbsp;gadgets that will amuse and possibly astound you.</p>
