Lake Church, Wisconsin: A Pictorial History, Volume 1. Despite being an unincorporated village, Lake Church, Wisconsin is a Luxembourg settlement with a rich and fascinating history! Did you know that Lake Church: • Had an “Indian scare” in 1862? • Had numerous parish members arrested in the local Civil War Draft Riot? • Had saloons on the three corners across from St. Mary’s Church? • Had its own post office? • Had a fire that almost burned down St. Mary’s Church in 1920? • Had its own company that produced honey? • Had a nun who tried to burn down St. Mary’s School? • Had a priest who was tarred and feathered by the KKK? • Had one of the most state-of-the-art shoe production plants in the USA? These are but a few of the countless stories shared by Kevin Wester in this extensive, photo-packed history of the little Wisconsin community known as Lake Church. In addition, the book offers insight into Luxembourg immigration to the region. Finally, the book serves as a tribute to the former St. Mary’s Parish and its church and school which played a definitive role in the spiritual formation of so many Lake Church and Belgium area residents. Lake Church, Wisconsin: A Pictorial History will keep these precious stories alive for generations to come!
