Fall Festival at the Methodist Episcopal Church

Text

Dated September 22, 1912, this photograph shows the interior of the original Methodist Episcopal Church (First United Methodist Episcopal Church) during the Fall Festival. The pipe organ on the rear wall was donated to the church in 1905 by William Wannamaker, who owned the Wannamaker Department Store in Philadelphia. The opening recital of the organ was on March 3, 1905. Henry S. Fry was the original organist. The organ was used for the next 60 years.

The food seen in the photo was likely donated to the community.
