History
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church traces its founding to the arrival in Luseland of Lutheran families from Wisconsin and Nebraska in 1909. Pastor Robert Buechner was an early provider of spiritual leadership for this group. An organizational meeting was held on 10 August 1910.
Building of a new church began in May 1911 and was completed in the summer of 1913. The steeple was added in 1914, and a basement was dug out beneath the church in 1947.
