Overview

Mission

The friends of the marengo big springs old town church was formed to aid in the restoration and support the preservation of the pioneer historic church located in marengo, Indiana. We also serve to educate the public about this historic structure. We will collect, preserve, and interpret its history and the heritage of marengo and promote the appreciation of this pioneer church built in 1858.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our only program service at this time is the renovation of the existing church building to preserve it for the community. Once this goal has been accomplished then our organization will explore future use of the building for potential programs and services to the community. Possible future uses may include community activities or funeral services for the nearby cemetery.
