Saron Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church was built in 1907.
It was the first Norwegian Lutheran Church in Canada...
...and hosted the first Lutheran circuit convention in 1908.
The church building was repaired and preserved by the Saron congregation for the sixtieth anniversary on November 10, 1967.
The congregation soon outgrew the tiny church and in 1916 erected a substantially larger church building on the same property. The new church is a fine example of prairie Lutheran churches of the period.
The cemetery is situated between and behind both churches.

Wow - you wouldn't want to nod off during the sermon in that church! For sure you'd fall off the bench.
