The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd was built in 1871-72 in the Gothic Revival style, with a steeply pitched roof, batten-and-board siding, four buttresses on each side, and a bell tower buttressed on the south. The Guild Hall on the north was added in 1905. Lancet windows with stained glass line the sides of the main building, and the chancel side windows are Swiss-made stained glass. The building remains essentially unaltered since its construction. It is one of a group of Gothic Revival churches built under the direction of Bishop Henry Whipple of the Episcopal diocese of Minnesota. The Rev. Solomon Burleson designed the church and began construction in 1871 at Bishop Whipple’s request. The first service was held on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1872, and Bishop Whipple consecrated the church in August 1872. In 1982, the three surviving members of the congregation gave the building to the Faribault County Historical Society. Reverend Burleson’s infant son Henry died in the church’s early years and is buried in the churchyard near the bell tower.
