Description
Historic Wisconsin Hauge Log Church and tree swing - vertical version - Daleyville WI
Early Norwegian Lutheran immigrants to Wisconsin built this log church in 1852, and it is the oldest Norwegian lutheran church in western Wisconsin. The church is situated upon a beautiful hilltop just north of Daleyville, where the still-operating Perry Lutheran church that I posted a photo of a few days ago is located, and the history of the two churches is interwined. The immigants that built this church were followers of a charismatic preacher named Hauge, and the followers were often called Haugeans. It was illegal in Norway to conduct religious assemblies without a Church of Norway minister present, so Hauge was jailed on many occasions. Norwegian immigrants to America who followed Hauge's teachings formed their own synods within the Norwegian-American Lutheran church.
