Little Prairie - “Where Church is Family” In 1855, a settler by the name of Jacob Emery arrived in Bridgewater township near Dundas, MN looking for an opportunity.  After cutting a three mile track through the big woods, Jacob came to a little prairie of sixty acres where he homesteaded.  This was the beginning of the Little Prairie community. Over the years the faces may have changed, but Little Prairie continues to play a valuable role in helping others discover God’s grace.  History Made with Xara
