Historic Sites of Manitoba: Bethany Lutheran Church (RM of Riding Mountain West)

In 1918, Bethany Lutheran Church was built at this site in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. Its associated cemetery was located a short distance to the east. The church was moved to its present site in Inglis in 1950, leaving its concrete steps and foundation behind. A commemorative monument was erected at the former church site in August 2001.
