Notes

2011-06-14 - The organ was originally installed in 1965 in Thirty-Sixth Street Christian Reformed Church in Wyoming, Michigan. That congregation disbanded, and Plymouth Church was able to purchase the organ to replace the instrument it currently had, which was built by White Organ Company. Bill Swem installed the Wicks organ in this location. -Database Manager
