Notes

2004-10-30 - Was Universalist (or moved from Universalist?). -Database Manager

2014-08-07 - Updated through online information from Sarah Johnson. -- The Guilford United Methodist Church was at one point a Unitarian church and the congregations merged. Hook and Hastings Opus 1652 was restored in 2000 by Andrew Smith and E. A. Boadway of Cornish, N.H. The organ still has the capability to be hand-pumped. A re-dedication concert following the restoration was held on November 16, 2001 and was performed by Edgar Boadway and Juanita Hibbard (organist at the Methodist Church). -Database Manager
