Methuen Memorial Music Hall

The Great Organ was originally built by E. F. Walcker and Company of Ludwigsburg, Germany in the 1860’s and was installed in the Boston Music Hall. By the mid-1880’s, the organ had fallen out of public favor and was subsequently purchased by William O. Grover for a sum of $5,000. The Great Organ was dismantled and placed in storage. In 1896, Edward F Searles took ownership of the Methuen Woolen Company building along the banks of the Spicket river. The Great Organ was purchased and reassembled in a custom-made building, which is now known as The Methuen Memorial Music Hall.

Today, The Methuen Memorial Music Hall is a registered historical landmark and is actively used for performances of many kinds. Though the Great Organ is the center piece of the Hall and the 15-week organ recital series represents the flagship events of our season, the Hall is available for private rentals for weddings, gatherings, and performances.
