The Watertown Moravian Church was organized on September 11, 1854, as a daughter congregation of Ebenezer Moravian Church, which had been organized four miles south of the city just the year before. A church building was completed in 1855, and a pipe organ purchased in 1897. This was moved to the current structure upon its completion in 1904.

From History of the Watertown Moravian Church 1854-2004 (2012) [website]:
"The congregation purchased a pipe organ for $665 which replaced the melodeon that had been used. The organ was dedicated on May 23, 1897. Brother Albert Haupert was the pastor at the time. The total cost of the organ and installation came to $930."
