🌿 Explore the Rich History of the Norwegian Settlement Church Museum 🌿

Step back in time to the roots of Albany’s Norwegian community!

Did You Know?

The first church meetings were held in 1850 on the property of Syver and Barbra Gothompson, the first permanent settlers northwest of Albany.

● By 1863, a stone church was built at its current location on Highway EE, Green County, Wisconsin.

● A bell tower was added in 1904, and the congregation officially became The Norwegian Evangelical Congregation of Albany in 1871.

● In 1960, the name changed to Albany Lutheran Church, and the stone church remained in use until 1983.

● 1989 marked a new chapter: the stone church became the Norwegian Settlement Church Museum, preserving this historic site for generations to come.
