As you exit the
cemetery, take a quick right, then a left, into the alley.
Follow the alley and at the first intersection turn left
(north). Continue to W. 2nd Street and turn right (east).
Stop at the corner of Mozart St. (As you walk along W. 2nd
St., imagine what this part of town must have looked like in
the early years when it was covered in grapevines.)

Notice the churches on your left and right. Churches show the
vitality of the religious culture of the area. Like the churches
of their German homeland, churches of the early settlements were
built on hills, and their steeples can be seen from miles
around. Two examples are St. George Catholic Church, circa 1850
(on the right) and St. Paul United Church of Christ, circa 1846
(on the left). Notice too, that the steeple on St. George
Church is on the side of the building. The original church was
built on the top of the hill facing north. When it was time to
enlarge the church, the only way to build was onto the west side
of the old church. The congregation chose to keep the original
steeple where it was rather than erect one at the new entrance
to the church.
