The organ was sadly replaced by an electronic substitute in 2004. The Woodberry was given to Hickory Neck Episcopal Church in Toana, Virginia where it was installed in 2006.

From the Old Donation Episcopal Blogspot online history, "The Jesse Woodberry Tracker Pipe Organ. In November 1980, a Jesse Woodberry tracker pipe organ was purchased from a Roman Catholic Church in Andover, MA. though the Organ Clearing House (a national organization which saves important historical pipe organs from buildings which are going to be torn down or from churches which do not want them anymore). Born in England, Jesse Woodberry (1841-1922) was a pipe organ builder of some renown in New England. Old Donation paid $3,000 for the organ with an additional fee of $500 to have it moved to Mann and Trupiano Organ Builders in New York to be completely overhauled for $30,000. Many of the original organ pipes (over 600) had been lost or destroyed so Mann and Trupiano used pipes from other un-restorable old organs and built new ones. A compact German electric blower was installed in order to provide wind since the original bellows and pumping handle had to be worked manually. A new case had to be built for the pipes appropriate to the space in the balcony. The remaining parts of the original instrument contained pieces of wood (ebony, cherry, walnut, oak, maple, and mahogany), and the natural keys on the keyboards were ivory from African elephant tusks. Many well-known organ builders worked on the restoration of the Jesse Woodberry, and in 1983 after three years of reconditioning, it was installed in the balcony at Old Donation where it was used for twenty years."

The original builder was Jesse Woodberry & Co. (1901, Opus 199).
