West Prairie Hauge Norwegian Lutheran Church

West Prairie Hauge Lutheran Cemetery is a small cemetery located on a ridge in Crawford County on Highway 82, and had it’s closing service on June 24, 1990. On December 21, 1990 the church building and surrounding one-half acre of land was deeded over to the Crawford County Historical Society to be used for a Norwegian History Center.

My Grand-Father Rudalph Peterson had his service here upon his death in 1943.

The following family members are buried here:

  • Rudalph Peterson (Grand-Father)
  • Peter L. Peterson
  • Steen Peterson
  • Elmer Peterson
  • Lloyd O. Peterson
