Rutland Center Church Holds Open House August 25 and 26, 2012     More than 216 people toured the renovated Rutland Center Church when it held an open house on August 25 and 26. The church is located at 687 U.S. Hwy 14, three miles south of Oregon. During the past few weeks, Friends of the Rutland Center Church have been finishing up the interior repairs of the church and touching up the exterior paint. Grants this summer from the Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission and Bryant Foundation in Stoughton have provided funds to make the last improvements possible.

Contributions welcome:
     The slowing economy has had an effect on our grant writing activities.  Contributions from individuals continue to be a major source of revenue for this project.  Several grants from the Dane Country Cultural Affairs Commission and the Bryant Foundation in Stoughton have made much of the rennovation possible.

     The Rutland Center Church is owned by the Town of Rutland and not affiliated with any organized religion. No taxpayer funds are being used for its restoration.  Committee members volunteer their labor without remuneration.
