Interesting video. There’s actually a full-size replica of this church on Washington Island in Wisconsin (where Green Bay meets Lake Michigan). Not historically significant though as it was built in the 90s.

I was actually referring to the large Scandinavian population of the state... I didn't think of the football team until later... Oh well...

Thats actually what I meant at first wondering what you were talking about. Tonight I looked at your comment and felt like a putz thinking you were talking about the NFL franchise. There is some real interesting history there.

I suspect the tar combined with the cold weather there has probably kept the termites at bay.

What's incredible is that there are any left. It seems like the tar/pitch would be flammable.
