Old Kirke Museum

Our Savior's Church is the oldest Danish American Evangelical Lutheran church building in America, and we are on a mission to save our Old Kirke Museum and promote cultural tourism in the Manistee area. We tare turning he building’s lower level into an exhibit space and have preserved the beautiful sanctuary where Scandinavian working families and their descendants worshipped from 1868 until 1970 when Our Savior's Historical Society was formed and the building became a non-profit museum. This year marks the building's sesquicentennial and the opening of the Old Kirke Museum Exhibit Hall, which houses temporary exhibits and the permanent installation of the Madsen Manistee Lumbering Camp Dioramas.
