Spruce Hill Lutheran Church
The Spruce Hill Lutheran Church began as a log structure built in 1881. It had seats of wooden planks set on stumps, its pulpit an upright log. The need for a larger church became evident and the present building was completed in 1902. In 1913 a horse barn was added. Membership dwindled through the years, and in 1967 the church merged with Miltona Faith. In 1994, it was deeded to the Douglas County Historical Society, who is now in charge of its operation. Traditional Easter and Christmas services, and a mid-summer hymn fest are held each year. The church is used for funerals, weddings and other events.
