Log Chapel, Saint Paul, Ramsey County, MN
Summary
For additional documentation of the landscape, see Luther Seminary, Upper Campus (HALS MN-10-A).
Significance: This log church was originally called the Muskego Church. It was built in 1843 by Peter Jacobson, to serve an early Norwegian colony in what is now Racine, Wisconsin. It is said to be the first Norwegian Lutheran church in the United States. The building is constructed of hewn red oak logs, hand-adzed, with upper logs cupped over ones below. In 1904, the church was moved to the campus of Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. On its removal here it was encased with wood studs and siding. The interior retains the original log finish. Rev. C. L. Clausen was the first pastor. Records shows 130 members in 1845.
