THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
25
Of historic interest is the Appleton Pipe Organ, one of the five known organs of Colonial times in continual use today. During the summer of 1940 the church observed its 150th an niversary. For this occasion extensive improvements were made. The entire interior of the sanctuary was redecorated, and a new carpeting was laid. The "Upper Room" was also re-painted. In the new church activities center can be seen the original beams which were hand hewn and brought here on ships. The Society has been in continuous operation since 1799, and the building is one of Methodism's historic churches. (The above article was furnished by Miss Jane E. Crawford, and is re-printed from a Methodist Church folder especially prepared for the Nantucket Church.)
