Perhaps they are not there all the time. We went as part of a special tour for a conference. I have found that sometimes "extras" are included to impress the group being entertained. I hesitate to have one go to the expense of travel only to find that one little ol' machine on display again for the public viewing. Better wait until someone who went recently responds.

For those who enjoy Singer history of how their sewing machine came to be, you might enjoy a summer trip to the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River and tour the Singer mansion on one of the islands. Many vintage machines are placed throughout the mansion.
