The Fountain Lutheran Church was founded in 1878 as a Norwegian Evangelical congregation. Reverend J. E. Nord was installed as first pastor in 1880 and a church was built in 1881. This building was replaced by a new and larger church completed in 1901. At various time periods the Fountain Church was joined as a parish with churches in the Town of Plymouth (? -1948), Town of Greenwood (1929-1948), Mauston (1944-1948), and Hustler (1952- ?).
