Notes

2012-09-28 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2023-05-27 - According to the original Vogelpohl factory ledger in the possession of the Brown County Historical Society Museum in New Ulm, Minnesota, this organ cost $430.00 when it was installed in August of 1902. An early advertising photo shows a very small one manual instrument with five drawknobs in the keydesk, likely three 8' stops, a manual to pedal coupler, and a bellows signal. -Josh Sellner
