Wanted: people to help save
the Rutland Center Church

A group is forming to restore the Rutland Center Church and Cemetery on Highway 14 one mile south of County A.  This old church, built in 1852, is badly in need of repair.  The church and cemetery are now owned by Rutland Township but anyone with interest in trying to save this old building may join Friends of Rutland Center Church.  The group plans to raise money, write grants, research history and restore the church to its original condition.  If you have interest in joining the group as an interested citizen or tradesperson, we certainly welcome you.

For more information about the project, visit our website at www.rutlandchurch.org or contact co-chairperson Jean Hanson at 608-835-9712 or jhanson@wistrout.com. A membership application is available on the website or from Jean.
