A new museum is underway, dedicated
to the history and contributions of the Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro,
Vermont, world-known for manufacturing reed, pipe, and electronic
organs and operating for nearly a century.
Organizers have set up a 501(3)(c)
non-profit corporation in the state of Vermont for the purposes
of building this museum in the historic slate-sided factory buildings
that still stand. We hope you will get involved in this noble effort
to preserve the instruments, the history, the stories, and the music,
of all those touched by Estey organs.
Contact
us anytime.
This year we have new exhibits and expanded gallery space. Mark

the small, fully-functional reed organs built for children by Estey.
The Engine House is just the beginning. Please take a look at
our Vision Statement (pdf) to find out
about our long-term plans.

Estey Organ Museum.

our Organs pages for additional
information. Note: we do not do appraisals or repairs.
