The Estey Organ Museum is now closed for the Winter season. We will re-open in mid-May 2023.  Check this site for opening information.

Not able to visit the museum?  Suggestion: View the new video, “Estey Organ Museum: The Estey Story, ” on our YouTube channel.

The Board of Trustees of Estey Organ Museum in Brattleboro have elected Dr. Dennis Waring of Guilford as President of the Board to a one-year term.

On July 3 the Bennington Museum will reopen, extending its (re)Sounding exhibit through the Fall. (re)Sounding is a multi-media show which brings vintage instruments in the collection back to life in new compositions. Featured is a 1940’s era Estey Field Organ, on loan from the Estey Organ Museum.

“Vox Jubilante – Victorian Sounds on Estey Organs” contains a selection of Victorian secular and sacred songs performed on Estey reed and pipe organs. The CD is available from our online store.

In memory of Clemens Kalischer, EOM has remounted with updated captions the Summer 2007 exhibit of photographs of organ pipe-making at the Estey factory. The photos, taken by Mr. Kalischer in the late 1950s, give viewers a rare look at some of the methods and tools used in the production of pipe organs.
