History

In 1855,  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.   Little Prairie takes pride in it's historical roots and continues to offer meaningful worship for new generations.
