Northern Nebraska Pipe Organ Tour

Over the Labor Day weekend, myself and a friend of mine decided to embark on a northern Nebraska organ tour. It was a very enjoyable trip, and I also leaned an important lesson: many parishes are unaware of value and/or historical significance of their pipe organ. Therefore, they are usually poorly maintained or have undergone some sort of very unfortunate renovation. Hopefully I will be able to upload a few audio files of our trip in the near future, but in the meantime, enjoy the photographs and information about the organs we visited!
