The oldest church in the county, the
Moravian Church
(9970 Moravia St., 920/854-2804),
built out of necessity when the village founder's living room no longer sufficed, is, appro-
priately enough, along Moravia Street. It was built in 1857 out of cedar from the Upper
Peninsula (local logs were too rough for such a sacred house); they offer tours ($5) of this
church on Thursdays at 1:30pm. Also on Moravia Street, the
Pioneer Schoolhouse Mu-
seum
(9998 Moravia St.) doubles as a repository of local history. Local art displays, with
various media represented from juried shows and chosen by local arts associations, are

Thomas Goodletson Cabin,
an 1857 original (inside and out) and one of the peninsula's first cabins.
There's no more relaxing bayfront view than at Ephraim Motel.
Down off the bluff are the
Anderson Barn and Store.
The ruddy barn was built in
1870. During the summer, it's open for browsing; the salient square silo is a rarity. Built in
1858 by Aslag Anderson, one of the original Scandinavian settlers, it sports old-time store
items along with museum-like pieces. All structures save for the church operate as one mu-
seum (920/854-9688, 11am-4pm Mon.-Sat. mid-June-Aug., Fri.-Sat. Sept.-Oct., $5 includ-
ing tour).
