PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

In April 1875 the Pilgrim Congregational Church was organized at the home of William T. Ide, Sr.   In 1876 a new church and parsonage were built in section 33 of Highland Township on the township line between Grant and Highland. It was the first church built in Highland Township and for many years the only country church in the surrounding area. It was also the first church in the township to close.
