As the plaque reads:
Preserve Our Heritage
On October 3, 1989, New Stockholm Church, the first Swedish Lutheran Congregation in Canada, was organized in this colony.
In 1893, the first Church was built of logs hauled by oxen from the Qu'Appelle Valley.
Delegates met here in 1913 to organize the Canada Conference of (Swedish) Augustana Synod.
The present building one mile east was dedicated in 1921.
