Abandoned Castle Grove Church Remains as Memory
The Castle Grove Evangelical church in Castle Grove township sits in ruin after being abandoned in 1894. Once a bustling meeting place for about 30 to 85 farmfolk, it hosted prayer meetings and singing schools, with pastors from nearby churches and Pennsylvania German congregants.
