The Dairyland Theatre Organ Society is fortunate to own six theatre organs: four pipe organs and two Allen digital organs. Currently, the Riverside Wurlitzer is the only instrument being played regularly, while our Style H Wurlitzer is being installed at the Geneva Theatre.
Riverside Theatre Wurlitzer (Style 240 3/14): This is the only theatre organ in Milwaukee still in its original home, the Riverside Theatre! We have owned this organ since the 80s and have saved it for Milwaukee.

Geneva Theatre Wurlitzer (Style H, Opus 1224): Restoration is underway for a 1925 Wurlitzer organ at the Geneva Theatre. This small but mighty organ began its journey in the Bronx, then traveled to Florida, and is now in Wisconsin, where it is being revived for the first time since it went silent in the 1930s.
