Pioneer Austins Start Hamburg Church History
In Julian and Hamburg early settlers built a community from a rough frontier. The Austins led church and school efforts, hosted the first Christmas tree, and helped organize worship in homes. Mrs. Danforth arrived after the 1681 feud, and nearby families shared in the growing town. Community life centered on family, neighbors, and the evolving local church.
