Beschreibung:

First Lutheran Church at the intersection of Old Sauk and Pleasant View Roads in Middleton, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. German immigrants who came to the Middleton area in the 1840s formed a Lutheran congregation in 1852. In 1854, they built a log church just north of the present edifice. in 1866, a second church was built, this time with sawn lumber as well as a steeple and bell. In 1884, an addition was built including a new steeple and bell. The edifice served until 1947, when regular services were discontinued and the congregation dissolved. A dedicated group of volunteers maintains the sanctuary and the surrounding cemetery. A memorial service is held annually in the late summer to honor "the big church on the hill" founded by early settlers.
