Additional Information: | A Lutheran congregation was formed by a group of German immigrants in the settlement of Helenville in 1848 and a non-extant log church was constructed. In 1851, the church established a school. The log church was quickly outgrown and was soon replaced by a non-extant wood frame church named after St. Peter. Another larger wood frame church was constructed in its place in 1902. The congregation continues using the church to this day. POINTED ARCHED WINDOWS AND DOORWAY ROUND WINDOW IN GABLE |
