Restore the 1804 Tannenberg Organ
Tax deductible
Our #GivingTuesday goal is to raise $5,000 in one day for the Campaign to Restore the Tannenberg Organ. Please consider a gift of any amount on November 27th for #GivingTuesday!
Help us restore this special organ!
Built by David Tannenberg, a prominent organ builder of the 18th century in south central Pennsylvania, the organ was originally constructed in 1804 for York’s Christ Lutheran Church. It was the last organ built by Tannenberg, as he suffered a stroke during the installation and died two days later. The organ was first played at Tannenberg’s funeral and continues to be played more than 200 years later for the History Center’s Summer Concert series and special events.
Of the 42 organs known to have been built by Tannenberg only nine exist to this day. The York County History Center is kicking off a campaign to raise $250,000 to repair and restore the historic 1804 David Tannenberg organ in preparation for its move to the new History Center. Your support is needed to ensure the legacy of Tannenberg’s work remains for generations to come.
Help us reach our goal with your donation to our campaign.
