This organ almost certainly sold to the Placerville Methodist Church (date unknown), later relocated to the El Dorado County fairgrounds, which acquired property and built four buildings from 1939-c. 1950.
The Organ Room and the Bergstrom organ are extant at the fair grounds as of December 2025, although there is a dispute about the organ remaining and concern about the organ's future. A concurrent article appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle about the organ, with a photo. See Websites link below.
According to the Mariposa Gazette of 3/3/77, the organ was sold to the Independent Church (later First Unitarian) Oakland, CA. [Ed.: It is possible the organ referred to in the article is another or later fair organ, not the 1876 organ. See DOCMUENTS tab.]
