I surely enjoyed your article about saving those sacred places. I feel a special tie to George Bennard as he attended Albion College, my alma mater. We were very proud of him there.
We have a very special church that's been saved here in our little town of Manistee. Our Saviour's Lutheran Church is the oldest Danish church in the US and has been kept in wonderful condition since its retirement as a congregation. The church congregation was established in the 1870's in our lumber town by the Scandinavian , mainly Danish, immigrants who came to work in the lumbering here. It is now used for special occasions, weddings, musical events, and meetings. Next door to the church is also what was formerly the Folk School which has been purchased and restored by a private individual. He has a music school there, and presents many concerts there throughout the year too.
