Jim and Carolyn Ferguson stand inside the former United Church of Christ in Wessington Springs, where they have spent the past several years transforming the historic church into their home. The large west-facing windows behind them will eventually be replaced with double doors, creating the home’s new main entrance and opening onto a covered deck.
Fergusons give historic Wessington Springs church new life while honoring the memories held within its walls
For generations, people walked through the doors of the former United Church of Christ in Wessington Springs to worship, celebrate marriages, baptize children, mourn loved ones and gather as a community.
Soon, Jim and Carolyn Ferguson will walk through those doors and simply be home.
