On the drive down to Winona we stopped and took pictures of this fine old and historic Church. St. Mary's of New Trier was built in 1909 as a replacement to the stone church that was orginally in the same spot on Mary's Hill 1864. The stone church was itself a replacement for an old log church that was built in 1856 by the original German immigrant community.

The town of New Trier still has a rustic old Minnesota farm commnuity feeling to it. It's quiet save for the pickups and combines. If your're passing through the area on MN-50, you must eat dinner at Wiederholt's Supper Club at the intersection of highway 61 in Miesville, outside of Hastings.
