First Church in Sauk — Prairie Region — 1846 — Fr. Inama Founder
| A wooden building enclosed by a fence. Caption on rear of photograph reads: First Church In Sauk-Prairie-Roxbury Region - 1846. Reproduction of an early photograph of the combined church and dwelling erected by Father Inama midway between Sauk City and Roxbury about the year 1846 or later. Father Inama can be seen standing just beyond the fence, and in the immediate foreground are the pebbles fringing what is now called Madison Brook, which springs from Crane Lake near Roxbury, and empties into the Wisconsin River about two miles south of Sauk City. The cellar ruins of this building may still be seen about a half mile back from the point where the brook flows beneath Highway 12 between Sauk City and Roxbury. This photograph is of the first church of any kind erected in this region. Reproduction by Arnold Photo Service, Sauk City, Wis. |
