Hi Richard-
There is a small brick Lutheran church in our area of Polk County,
Wisconsin that no longer has a congregation. It is owned by the Town of
Black Brook and is empty. The Clear Lake Historical Museum board has
expressed some interest in getting the structure moved and placed on
property in the village of Clear Lake to be used as a museum for its
religious exhibits. Would this project be considered for the Sacred Places
grant funding?
Thanks for your consideration,
Tim Wyss, president
Clear Lake Historical Museum
