In 1849 the originial Presbyterian Church was started.
It was finished in 1852 and dedicated on Thanksgiving Day of that year.
It was not a big Church, just 54 feet by 36. It was unheated and very cold.
In 1860 a parsonage was built adjacent to the church. Later on improvements
were made inside, a furance replaced the wood- burning stoves, new carpets
were added. A pipe organ was installed in 1883 and stained glass windows
were put in. In 1890 the church had over 100 parishoners and a finer parsonage
had been built.
On June 26, 1895 disaster struck the church. Lightning hit the church spire and the church burned to the ground. Within a few months a new building had been erected on the same spot. |

The new Presbyterian church in the Victorian Shingle Style with Gothic influence on the spire was built in 1895 on the ruins of the earlier church building. |
