NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. A group of German Lutheran immigrants constructed a non-extant log church in the Town of Jefferson in 1851. The log church was replaced with a stone Church in 1880, which was named Christberg Church. The majority of the congregation moved to the City of Jefferson in 1873 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John; however, a small group remained at Christberg Church. The church was renovated in 1913. The congregation dissolved in the early twentieth century; however, the building and adjacent cemetery continue to be well-maintained to this day. SQUARE CLAPBOARD TOWER W/CRENELLATIONS. SEGMENTAL ARCHED WINDOWS. ROUND WINDOW IN GABLE. EXPOSED RAFTER ENDS.
