Pleasant Grove Christian Church

This congregation evolved from a rural Union Church which met as early as 1875 in a nearby cabin. The Ladies Aid Society was formed in 1906 and began raising funds for a separate church facility. Built in 1908 on this site, the one-room structure was struck by lightning and burned in 1913. At the completion of a second building, an annual Thanksgiving dinner tradition was begun. A third sanctuary, built in 1950, was damaged by fire the same year. It was rebuilt and, despite another fire in 1965, continued to serve its congregation, including descendants of pioneer families.
