HIGHLY recommend this museum--it is very interactive whether you play organ/piano or not. There is a $5 entry fee per visitor. The museum is run entirely by volunteers. The museum is in one of the old buildings of the Estey organ factory and they have dozens of organs on display, and you can play all of them! Some of the organs are more than 100 years old! They also have a small, interactive lap organ exhibit. Some organs you have to pump the bellows yourself to play, some organs have electrically powered bellows, and one organ they have on display has space between the organ and the pipes so you can see the mechanics of the organ at work. Fun, interactive, and educational.

Nice friendly staff. Great display needs a little work. Hours are limited but worth the wait.

Only open in the summer season, but you can play all the instruments. They even have a walk through like organ.

Questions & Answers

I used to live in Brattleboro and knew a young woman named Muffy Estey. Does anyone know if she is still in the area?

We don't know for sure, but think she is no longer in the area. You could try asking the Brattleboro Historical Society's Facebook page.

I have a pump organ melodien from Estey Greene that I have inherited from my family in Pittsfield, Vt. We restored the bellows 15 yrs ago. It is in excellent condition. We would like to sell or donate. We believe it to be from the early 20th c.

Does anyone do minor repairs on my small Estey Organ?

I don't believe they do repairs on site; however, if you send an e-mail to the address on the Estey Organ Museum site, you will get a pretty quick reply. They might send you to Nelson Pease in Palmer, Mass., who has Pease Collection of Musical Instruments, with myriad reed organ parts. If he doesn't do repairs, I suspect he will know someone who can help you. Look for him on Facebook (under the business name), or call 413-283-8684.
