The first Polish church in Wisconsin was built at Poland Corners in 1863, but because of the encroachment of saloons and the rugged lumbering elements, the parish moved to Polonia. The First Scared Heart Church was built in 1879 and destroyed, reportedly by sabotage, in the same year. The Second Sacred Heart Church was built in 1881, and destroyed by fire in 1903. Father Joseph Dombrowski was the leader and builder of the Polonia church.Wisconsin Historical Society
I believe this is what the current church looks like. Dare we look inside?

If I recallcorrectly, it is still just as beautiful inside as it is outside. That's such a neat spot!
If I'm in the area this summer, I'll have to bring my camera!
It's a beautiful church...Right in my back yard too. (well..within a mile or two) All there of my children were baptized here as was my marriage. All four are still doing just fine. ;)
