Description
After admiring its picturesque qualities for years, I chose to depict this scene of a historic little country church along the Rock and Walworth County line in southern Wisconsin. Here is a bit of history behind the church.
Records show the first settlers arrived in this territory in 1837. In the summer of 1872, the church was built atop a hill overlooking Richmond at a cost of $2,300. The first pastor was Ira S. Eldridge.
In 1909, church members bought and donated eight stained glass windows at a cost of $210. Later, in 1925, electricity was installed, replacing the old kerosene lamps.
In 1949, a faithful church member/trustee was killed in a car accident, and his family installed the church bell in his memory.
In December 2008, the steeple was rebuilt to its original height prior to a fire in 1968. The lighted cross atop the church steeple can be seen for miles around. A fellowship hall, kitchen, bathrooms, and Sunday school room were also added.
