The organ originally built for the Moravian Church in Graceham, Maryland, has experienced significant changes and relocations over its lifetime. Initially constructed for a specific religious community, it was moved in 1957 by the M.P. Moller company to its current location. About three decades later, around 1990, it underwent a significant restoration by James R. McFarland, aimed at preserving its historical integrity and functionality. The organ has a compass of 54 notes, which accommodates a wide range of musical compositions suitable for church settings.

This move and subsequent restoration underscore the importance and value placed on maintaining the operational and historical aspects of classic church organs. These efforts ensure that such instruments can continue to serve their musical and cultural purposes in their communities. The updates and maintenance over the years reflect ongoing commitment to the preservation of musical heritage within church environments, allowing future generations to experience the rich sounds of traditional pipe organs.
