Abstract:
Records of a Baptist congregation organized in Madison, Wisconsin in 1847. Included are minutes (1847-1911) and correspondence (1833-1864) of Lyman C. Draper and other church clerks; records of several congregational organizations and a subject file that highlights several events in the church's history. The congregation's centennial is documented by correspondence, a printed history, a scrapbook, and a historical slide lecture. The slides document the church's buildings and its ministers as well as its service under Charles Galpin to University of Wisconsin students. An additional scrapbook documenting the year 1943-1944 contains photographs representing the congregation's focus on racial understanding. Also included are brief records of the Sun Prairie Baptist Church, 1900-1907, whose members became part of the Madison congregation.
