- The Skinner firm built a three-manual organ for the First Presbyterian Church in Lyons in 1928. It was dedicated on November 18, 1928. After a fire in the church in 1936, reconstruction was necessary. This was also performed by Skinner in 1937. Nelson Doescher played the inauguration concert on January 6th, 1938.
- There are plans for a restoration by the Parsons company, which has been maintaining the organ since 2006.
