## History

[edit]

Trinity Episcopal Church is the single remaining example of rural board-and-batten in South Dakota, only three such churches were built in South Dakota.[3]

The church was built between July 1, 1883 and June 30, 1884 and cost $1,200 to build; the altar window was shipped from Connecticut and the brass altar vases and cross was donated by the R. A. Mather family. Bishop W. H. Hare served the church in its early years. The church has one resident rector between 1895-1896 and that was T. H. J. Walton. The church ceased active services in the 1960s and the building was donated to the Brown County Historical Society in 1974.[3]
