About 1908, a Lutheran church was built at this site on the southeast corner of the southwest quarter of 27-23-27 West of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. The church closed in 1942 and the building was sold and its materials were used to build a private residence. An associated cemetery is still in use.
