The First Congregational Church is a historic church in Turton, South Dakota. It was built in 1893 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
It was built by the men of the church, under supervision of carpenter Ferdinand LaBrie, a homesteader in the area. It provided church services from 1893 until 1963. The NRHP nomination states: "The importance of this church lies in its importance to the lives of the pioneers who built it and in its being a good representative of the 19th and early 20th century tradition of vernacular frame churches in South Dakota."[2]
