Notes

2011-10-16 - The organ was installed in the late 1960's by using parts from a variety of other instruments. Some pipes and the console came All Saints Episcopal Church in Saugatuck, Michigan. Pipes also came from Fowler Organ Company, Pilgrim Congregational Church in Lansing, and a downtown church in Lansing. After the initial installation, Archie White did a number of upgrades to the organ, including a new blower. Lauck Organ Company completed some minor tonal work on the instrument, including the addition of the Trumpet, around 2006. -Database Manager
