Paul R. Marchesano on September 16th, 2024:

The organ was “exhibited” at the factory during the second week of March, 1851; installed in the church, April, 1851. Cost reported as $1200. Replaced an earlier organ by Corrie according to the newspaper accounts. See DOCUMENTS tab for articles and details as well as the then published stoplist.
