Description

East Norway Lutheran Church series (Nelson County ND)
Through satellite imagery and internet searching, I have created a large database of "potentially interesting" locations on my google map so that when I make a trip, I can schedule stops along the way without adding hundreds of miles. Here's an example from a WI->ND journey- an abandoned Norwegian Lutheran church founded in 1903 and closed in 1967, per a history book clip. Amazingly the bell is still in place - I was shocked when I pulled the rope and the deep but crystalline tone roared out once again after a long slumber. On my FB photography page, I attached a recording/video of that bell tolling!
A couple other images are also available of this location - search for same title. Names on cemetery tombstones included Solberg (LOTS!), Johnson, Hillesland, Fjeld, Moum (never heard that name before).
Images captured 8/30/20.
