It is a rare occurrence that a museum obtains a complete photographic chronicle that offers a snap shot in history of some event. A little frame church was built in 1920 in Harris township with the encouragement of a young ?ShoePack Preacher? by the name of Mr. E. G. Freeman. He had with him a modest ?Brownie? style of camera that resulted in an album showing all the steps in building the church; from clearing the land, cutting the timber, sawmilling boards and final construction. The complete set of photographs are provide here.
