Spotlight on Pilgrim Church's beloved Austin Organ

Austin Organ Company was established in 1893 by John Austin in Hartford, Connecticut.  This company has organs all over the world, including China and Japan, as well as numerous instruments in the United States.  The Pilgrim Church Organ is electro-pneumatic and was designed for the space, acoustics, and the needs of this church.  Installed in May 2004, the dedicatory recital was performed by organist Brian Jones.
