Tiny Wilson KS (pop 780) boasts several amazing church buildings. The Eastern-European inspired First Presbyterian Church building is one of the Blasterz favorites that we saw today. :)

This magnificent church is on the Wilson Walking Tour, and is prominently featured in the tour brochure: (visit link)

First Presbyterian Church
319 24th Street
The town’s oldest congregation met in 1875 before Wilson was founded. Catholics and Methodists shared the 1880s limestone structure before organizing or the rebuilding of their own churches. The original church was replaced with the current structure & distinctive stained glass windows in 1910." [end]
