In the late 1800s, Norwegian immigrants began flooding into the Red River Valley. As they moved into the Grand Forks area, they brought their Old World folkways and religious practices. On the corner of Third and Walnut, Norwegian Lutherans built a small sanctuary to house their services. The building mirrored the simple worship of the Hauge Synod, the organization to which this congregation belonged. After merging with two other Norwegian churches in town, the old Trinity Lutheran structure passed into the hands of the Grand Forks Church of God, a congregation that echoed the revival fires of the Second Great Awakening. This is the story of a church building and the two assemblies that utilized it over a 100-year period.

Excerpt from History of Walnut Street Church: Sketches of Its Pastors, Elders and Prominent Members, With Reminiscences of Evansville in Early Times It' is now seventy years since the religious de nomination worshiping in the Walnut street church had its first existence, and as there is not now living one of the members of that church, when first formed, we may conclude that by the time its Gen tennial anniversary arrives there will be none of even the early fathers or elders to tell of these days of old. In view of this fact. The writer and compiler of this book, who is probably the oldest person living who remembers any of the particulars respecting this church in its infancy, has thought that a short history might be of interest to some of its present and future members, and offers this little volume as an anniversary greeting to the friends and members of Walnut Street Church with the hope that the history may be continued by some vounger person in future years. If the events are recorded as they transpire, much more of interest will be preserved for a future volume than will be found in this, and it is hoped that in ten or fifteenyears from this time some one will be found to have kept, a record of the events and progress of the chureli who will add a second volume of the history of Walnut Street Church.

With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.
