The Friends of the Grass Lake Mission Church
Meet at the Park Cafe in Braham
(call 320-396-2995 for meeting times)
Next meeting Feb. 16, 2008 at 10 a.m.
The Friends of the Grass Lake Mission Church invite anyone interested in preserving historic buildings to attend their next meeting at the Park Cafe in Braham. The group was formed to restore and preserve the Grass Lake Swedish Mission Church.
Check the Jan. 10, 2008 issue of the Kanabec County Times for an article about the Grass Lake Mission Church.
This building is now over a 100 years old and is the last remaining building of the once thriving town of Grass Lake. The town died out when the rail road depot was built in the nearby town of Grasston instead of at Grass Lake.
Efforts to get the building entered on the National Register of Historic Buildings unfortunately failed. However this may not have been that helpful to the restoration process as being on the register does not mean that funds are easier to secure.
Recently the group did receive a donations to re-roof the building; this project has just been completed. The next project will be to repair the foundation.
Beside raising funds the group will be looking for volunteers to help with the work and anyone with expertise in the building field to help with plans and suggestions as there will be plenty to do to bring the building back to a useable state. Come help us preserve a piece of Kanabec County's early history. We all look forward to holding the first event in the restored Grass Lake Church.
