Crews transported a 145-year-old church from Sturgeon to south Columbia, establishing its permanent home in Nifong Park. The 19th-century structure will join other preserved local landmarks at the Boone County Historical Center's village.
Workers recently moved a 19th-century church from Sturgeon to a new site in south Columbia. The structure, which was built in 1881, was taken to Nifong Park to establish its permanent home.
The 145-year-old building is set to stand alongside several other conserved landmarks from the region. It is now part of the historic village managed by the Boone County Historical Center.
The relocation places the former Sturgeon landmark within an existing group of preserved regional structures. Full reporting is available from the original source.
