Built in 1902, this Romanesque Revival-style structure was designed by Gordon and Paunack for the congregation of the Bethel Norwegian Lutheran Church, now Bethel Lutheran Church. Bethel Lutheran Church outgrew the building in the 1930s, and built a new church several blocks to the southwest, which was completed in 1940, after which the building became home to the First Christian Church of Madison. The building features a painted red brick exterior, a cross-gable roof, a tower with a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, a belfry with large arched louvers featuring tracery, recessed brick panels below the belfry, rusticated stone belt coursing, trim, and window sills, roman arched window openings, an entrance door at the base of the tower with a stained glass roman arched transom, above which is a datestone engraved with the year “1902” a side entrance with a stained glass roman arched transom, and a rusticated stone base. The building today serves as apartments, having ceased to be used as a church in the 20th Century.
nrhp # 74000071- Logs for the church were cut and drawn in 1851 and construction was completed in 1852. Hauge Evangelical Lutheran Church was used for worship services by early Norwegian-American settlers who were followers of the Haugean tradition (haugianere). They named it after Norwegian lay minister Hans Nielsen Hauge. The church was the first Norwegian Lutheran Church in its area. Adjacent to the church is a small cemetery where members of the first congregation are buried.[3][4]
Perry Evangelical Lutheran Congregation was organized in 1854. Both congregations shared the log church until December 1858 when the Perry congregation completed their own structure, now the Perry Lutheran Church in nearby Daleyville, Wisconsin.[5]
The Hauge congregation remained in the original log church some 35 years until 1887 when a new larger building was constructed approximately two miles east. In 1927 the church building was restored. The Dane County Wisconsin Historical Society recognized the site for its historical significance, and dedicated a Historic Marker there in 1964.[6]
Since 1966, care of Hauge Log Church has been entrusted to the Perry Hauge Log Church Preservation Association, Inc. The 30-acre Hauge Historic Park was established by the Town of Perry for the purpose of protecting the Hauge Log Church historic site.[7] The pioneer sanctuary has been made available to host concerts, weddings, family events, celebration and other special occasions.

To start our weekend traveling north, we stopped for dinner in Mayville. We made reservations right at 5 p.m., though were in town an hour early. After walking up and down Main Street, we stopped at the bar on the corner, the Bridge Street Pub... Next was dinner at the Beaumont, which is part of The Audubon Inn. It was wonderful!
