St. John's Evangelical Lutheran German Church and Cemetery
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran German Church and Cemetery, Lutheran church and cemetery near Hayes Center, Nebraska.
The white wooden church building stands alongside a 10-acre cemetery containing generations of German Lutheran family graves in Hayes County.
Founded in 1886 with an initial sod structure, the current church building was constructed in 1925 and received stained glass windows in 1944.
The cemetery markers, dating from 1888, document the settlement patterns of German Lutheran families who established their community in this region of Nebraska.
The church building continues to serve religious functions under the supervision of the Nebraska State Historical Society since its closure as a regular congregation in 1973.
The structure represents High Plains rural church architecture, designed by Bill Miller with features that reflect the German immigrant farming community lifestyle.
