2020-11-14 - Updated through online information from Tom Gillette. -- Originally a Lutheran Church when the Swedes settled Wilmington, but now an Episcopal Church and part of Trinity Episcopal Parish. -James R. Stettner

2021-02-18 - Old Swedes Church’s current organ (located in the gallery) was a donation by the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Connecticut. After a fire in 1964 badly damaged the previous organ, the Austin Company donated this model to aid in the Church’s $100,000 restoration efforts. This organ remains a central part of the interior and fills the entire structure with music. -- fromHistoric Old Swedes Instagram -Paul R. Marchesano
