What's Great
Highwood Lutheran Church lays claim to having the oldest pipe organ in the Province of Alberta and the third oldest in Canada! The organ, Opus 81, was completed in 1870 by the J.H. and C.S. O'Dell Organ Company of New York. It was obtained by Highwood from a Baptist church in Ossining in 1967. It has been recognized by the Historic Organ Committee of the Royal Canadian College of Organists as an historical instrument.
