Odalen Lutheran Church
Odalen Lutheran Church was established in
1884. Many of the founding fathers immigrated from the Odalen Parish
in Norway, so they agreed to call the new organization Odalen Norwegian
Lutheran Church.
Odalen held it's last regular church
services in June, 2000 with a special closing celebration.
Memorial Day services are held in Odalen every May.
The "Church by the Lake" holds fond
memories for many people.
Thursday, June 21, 2007 Odalen burned to
the ground. The fire was called in about 7:30 PM. What a tragic
loss. The Edinburg Fire Department put forth a valiant effort to save
the Historical Landmark. We still have the memories.
