Longwood Gardens is open to the public as a key tourist attraction south of Philadelphia, but at one time was the private estate of the DuPont family.

The new console is huge! I like the look of the Moller console.

Beautiful doesn't describe the combination of this instrument and the fountains!

The new console is supposed to look like the original console to this organ. The console in this video is the organs second console (by Moller), the one before this console (by Aeolian) looked nearly identical to the new one they recently put in. I think it's a good thing, just because the original console looked like that... typically I like draw knob consoles better though. This is one of the few exceptions!
