1885 Pump Organ

Betty Weiss (1915-2023) lived in Rocky River for over 70 years. Before her death, Mrs. Weiss donated this 1885 Mason & Hamlin pump organ to the Rocky River Historical Society. She loved classical music and supported the Rocky River Chamber Music Society and the Cleveland Orchestra for many years. Betty lived across the street from the Rocky River Park and remembered that the park had an ice rink when it was cold enough with a warming shed and a coal-fed heater for the skaters.
