Rich sound,  Richer history       Schuylerville United Methodist Church Organ,        predates American Revolution

   "Its pipes echoed the thunder of the battle of Bunker Hill, and it heard the tread of the British

troops as they evacuated the city of Boston. The British General Gage and his officers undoubtedly

listened to this instrument, as his commanders, as did General Washington and his commanders    

after their occupancy of the town."  "General John Burgoyne was in Boston serving with the British

   Army from May 1776 to the following December, and he probably, attended services in King's Chapel 

        and heard the charming tones which the same organ pours forth today."  "The instrument is now voicing

 itself on the site of General Burgoyne's surrendered camp (old Saratoga), and within a stone's throw

  almost of "The Field of Grounded Arms' where his defeated army laid down their banners                   

and implements of war"
