2011-06-22 - The organ was installed in 1881 in the church's former building, which was demolished in the 1960's. The instrument was removed and replaced in 1937 by an electronic organ. In 1996, the organ was obtained from Dana Hull and was restored by Lowell and C. Robert Johnson, grandsons of the original builder. The instrument was placed in the chapel. The organ was originally hand-pumped but now has an electric blower. An Allen organ, also located in the chapel, is the primary instrument for activities held in the room. -Database Manager
