Excerpt from Beaver Dam Lutheran Church Cemetery, "a Challenge for Our Time" More than two hundred years ago, Christ erected His church just sixty feet from this hallowed bit of earth. The simple meeting house, 28 feet square, was built of hand hewn logs and rested on a foundation of native rocks. Today the rugged foundation remains alone on the grassy turf to proclaim God's glory. In another day and age, German families of Lutheran faith gathered in this rustic house of worship, sat on rough handmade pews and in their native tongue sang hymns of old. It was here that the early settlers thanked God for their bles sings and prayed to Him for guidance and protection in the untamed new world.
