1. St. John's United Church of Christ Marker
St. John’s congregation was organized by German immigrants in 1864. The original wood-frame structure was erected here in 1869-70 at a cost of five thousand dollars. In 1904 it was enlarged and extensively remodeled to create this Romanesque-inspired structure with its handsome stained glass windows. The church still has its original 1869-70 steeple. St. John’s is the oldest congregation of German origin in Port Huron, and its church is the oldest house of worship in the city.
Erected 1980 by Michigan History Division, Department of State. (Marker Number L796.)
