Trinity Episcopal Church

Trinity Episcopal Church is a church building in Groton featuring Gothic-inspired design with pointed-arch doors, stained glass windows, and a concrete bell tower. The interior displays carved wooden doors, smooth plaster walls, and arched trusses throughout the nave, showcasing traditional craftsmanship.

The church was built during South Dakota's early settlement period and represents the establishment of religious institutions as communities formed across the region. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places reflects its historical importance to the area's development.

The church serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together for worship and maintains Episcopal traditions that shape religious life in this small town.

The building opens for religious services and community events where visitors can view the architecture and interior details. Plan your visit around service times or ask locally about access for those interested in the building's design and construction.

The bell tower was constructed from poured concrete, an unusual choice for a church building from this early period in the region. This construction method stands apart from the typical timber or stone work found in similar buildings of that era.
