Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway
Waldheim Church, ND

Organized in 1887 by Lutheran missionaries Forde and Bothne, the foundation for this church was laid in 1886 and the church completed in 1900. The land for the church and cemetery were donated by Carl Jenson whose cabin was on the adjoining land. The first pioneer to be laid to rest in the Waldheim Cemetery was Jens Bjerke, Carl’s father, in 1879.
