Prior to the Civil War, a Lutheran log church built on the North Fork housed a growing congregation. During the war, the building, renamed Camp Luther, was used by soldiers from both sides. On March 1, 1862, a Union force under Col. George Latham captured Confederate militia under Capt. Joseph Lantz there. It was burned before the end of the war, possibly by local women to prevent misuse.
