A Country Church

This Church is officially named: St. Peter German Evangelical Lutheran Church and is located on U. S. Highway 52 between Guttenberg and Garnavillo, Iowa. The Flower Child grew up on a farm about one mile South of this Landmark. The church is no longer in service, but is lovingly maintained as a Museum by the local citizens. This limestone rock church was built in 1858, just twelve years after Iowa became a State. This church was a museum when I was a child in the mid 1940s.
