Notes

2024-08-15 - The Roosevelt Organ Company presented a pipe organ to Thomas Edison in 1878. Edison and his workers used it to conduct sound experiments and for entertainment during work breaks. The original organ was destroyed in a fire in 1914. Henry Ford had this replica made in 1929 as part of the detailed reproduction of Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory in Greenfield Village. -Paul R. Marchesano
