Driving the backroads in and around your community does have its surprises like- this little gem. Back in early 2014, Dan and I were out on a little trip with the girls (Tindra and Audrey) and stumbled across this charming country church. Our Saviors Church, or the Historic Woodside Place, is an old wooden church built in the year 1888. This church was moved to its new location at 2053 County Rd N, in Baldwin, Wisconsin after sitting vacant for years on a property about 1/2 mile west if its new location. The new owners have done a wonderful job restoring this old beauty and offer the facility for weddings or other special occasions.

We enjoyed our day and found this country treasure just as the sun was passing the steeple. Another reminder that there are wonders where you least expect it!
Have a great week!
Magnificent photos! 😀 Cannot help but love this church, 8 is my favorite number and there are too many 8’s in 1888 😀 Have a nice week Cynthia!
Thank you- It was a great find!
Love the way you captured this church, absolutely beautiful shot!
Thank you!
Great photo of the church; that sun is rounding the spire of the steeple perfectly. I miss those two traveling companions of ours.
Laying on the pavement to get the angle helped 🙂 As for the traveling companions, I know… They are greatly missed 🙂
Beautiful. I love old country churches. Such a joy to discover and so photogenic.
Yes, I agree… Very photogenic. She stands proud!
Nice work Cynthia! 🙂
Thank you!
What a beautiful church, I love how you incorporated the sun. 🙂
The historic photograph was a nice addition, excellent to see the building stand the test of time.
Thank you SI! I do remember attempting to get this shot and I would have to say, it was not good photography posture 🙂
Old country churches are among my favorite places to visit and photograph. This one is lovely and I’m thankful someone has saved it. You are right about noticing what is in your backyard.
Thank you!
