William Goodrich built an organ for the Unitarian Church on Nantucket in 1831 and today it remains the oldest functioning organ built in the United States. Unitarian Church members, Susan Jarrell, Ted Anderson, and Marcia Hempel talk about the history of this one of a kind organ. See more on the history of the Unitarian Church on Nantucket.

Some of the very best organ

Some of the very best organ music I have heard has been to hear a concert (Bach) performed by Marcia Hempel on this very organ. What a blessing!
