Salem Church
Image
Salem Church of the Evanglical Association of North America. The original church was built in 1851 in the township of Honey Creek. This church is the third one on this site; the second was built in 1875 but burned and was rebuilt in 1904. Sometimes called the "Ragatz" church because one of the Ragatz family donated the land for the first church. Cf. History of Sauk County, 1880.
1935
