Featured Attraction

Former Presbyterian church, built in 1911, features a state historical marker. It was designed after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and all windows are European stained glass. Its organ, a two-manual Kilgen, was originally water powered and later converted to electricity. It is one of only two left in the world. When the church disbanded, the non-profit Preservation Foundation was formed and took over the care and restoration of the building. The chamber of commerce can arrange a tour.  806/874-5158.
