Goodhue County Historical Society
Churches of Goodhue County

Several years ago we conducted a survey of county churches, gathering information on the kinds of records they hold and who to contact for information from those records. Click on the church desired for contact and record information and some general historical information. Find your church by town or township. Churches are also listed according to denomination and nationality.

Please note: The churches included in these listings are only those which have responded to the survey (or which have merged with responding churches). This list represents only about 60% of the churches in Goodhue County and is not intended to be all-inclusive. We welcome information about other churches or additions/corrections to the current data. Send to goodhuecountyhis@qwestoffice.net
