Description
The Episcopal Church of Wisconsin (now the Diocese of Milwaukee) was established in 1836 when the Wisconsin Territory was identified as the location for a church. Three young deacons held services in school rooms and courthouses within a 50-mile circuit around the Root River. In 1842, an Episcopal parish was formed in Racine and the first church was erected on the east side of Main Street, across from the Monument Square - St. Luke's. After a devastating fire in 1866, within six months the cornerstone of the present structure was laid.
