St. Olaf Lutheran Church - Cranfills Gap

St. Olaf Lutheran Church - Cranfills Gap

Cranfills Gapbr/Bosque County, Texasbr/31 47.526' N 97 46.414' Wbr/Directions: Start at the intersection of CR-4185 and CR-4145. Go 1.1 miles east on CR-4145. The Church is on the left (north) side of the road.br/ br/Historical Marker: The Rock Church. St. Olaf Lutheran Congregation. Built in 1886 by architect Andrew Mickelson and his brothers, Christian and Ole Mickelson. It originally had a dirt floor and planks laid on wooden kegs for pews. The bell was acquired in 1897. The church served the Norwegian settlers of this area, who were members of Our Savior's Lutheran Church of Norse (6 miles E.). In 1902, the growth of the community necessitated separation from the Norse Church, and the St. Olaf Congregation was organized. A new edifice was erected in Cranfills Gap (4 miles W.) in 1917, and this church has since been used only for special services.
