New Video

To many it is surprising to learn that Fitchburg was the site of a Catholic Church, rectory, and cemetery.  Holy Mother of Consolation Catholic Church in Oregon, Wisconsin had its original location along Hwy M in Fitchburg from 1857 to 1886 with the cemetery, St. Mary’s, serving as the Catholic cemetery for many Fitchburg residents from 1857 -1898.  Catherine Schneider tells the little known story of St. Mary’s Church and cemetery on a tour of the grounds.  Other videos can be found on Video Presentations

Display Case

The Society’s new display case features a short one page description with contact information and a photo for several of the religious organizations in and adjacent to Fitchburg. This display shows the great diversity that is available to Fitchburg residents. The display will be changed periodically to feature other religious organizations in Fitchburg. For a complete list and descriptions of religious organizations in Fitchburg as well as a map showing their location, view the Religious Organizations FHS webpage under Religion.
