We here at the museum are excited to announce that we have received a wonderful donation from Keith and Marguerite Enlow of Overland Park, Kansas of a beautiful pump organ.

We would like to thank our wonderful city crew for lovingly placing it in our museum. They took amazing care in placing it in it's new home. So come out and see this beautiful piece of Watonga history for yourself.
