Trinity Lutheran Church
Trinity was organized Nov. 10, 1844, under the direction of Pastor George William Hattstaedt, and joined the Missouri Synod in 1848. Trinity's first edifice, a frame structure built in 1852, served as both church and school until the Christian Day School was constructed in 1969.
On Dec. 10, 1893, a new church of brick, cruciform in design, was dedicated. A massive restoration project, costing more than $600,000, began in 1986 to preserve Trinity's fine late-Gothic architecture and ornate stained glass windows.
Trinity celebrated its 150th year in 1994 by "Remembering His Wonderful Deeds." SOLI DEO GLORIA!
Erected by Monroe County Historical Society.
