  • The organ in Peace Church in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, was constructed in 1807 by Conrad Doll. It has one manual with six stops and no pedal board. The instrument was transferred to a new church in 1887 by Samuel Bohler. He modified the organ by changing the Clarabel 4' into a Melodia, and replacing the largest prospect pipes with zinc ones. The organ case was pained grey at this occasion.
  • In 1954, the old church was taken in use again, and the organ was relocated without modifications. In 1973-1974, a restoration has been carried out by Noack. The instrument was reconstructed to its original specification. The organ case has also been repainted in the original white color.
