The home of Robert Todd Lincoln, Hildene is a grand country house open to the
public since 1978. The organ replaced an Aeolian Orchestrelle, and is installed
in the stairwell of the mansion, where it can be played from the console or the
Aeolienne roll player. It was restored in 1980 by Larry Nevin and Frank Thompson,
and is believed to be the oldest residential pipe organ in the United States
still playing in its original state. A recording of the instrument featuring the
roll player and organist Edwin I. Lawrence in period repertoire is available
from:
