Heart Prairie Lutheran Church
Heart Prairie Lutheran Church, Lutheran church in Whitewater, United States
The brick building features segmental-arched doors, Gothic-arched louvered belfry openings, and cream walls trimmed with brick frieze and dentil courses.
Norwegian settlers from Telemark established the congregation in 1844, with Reverend Claus Clausen serving as their first pastor at Heart Prairie.
Services were conducted entirely in Norwegian until 1902, when English was introduced, reflecting the gradual integration of Norwegian immigrants into American society.
The church holds summer services on Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 8 a.m., with special oil lamp services on the last Sunday evening of each month.
The central pulpit stands before a semicircular chancel, accompanied by the original hand-hewn wooden pews from the nineteenth century construction.
