Passport To History - Josephine County Historical Society - Hugo Community Church

Passport To History

The next stop on our Passport To History was the Hugo Community Church, known by the citizens in the area as "the Little Church in the Wildwood."



Built in 1909 as a First Baptist Church, it now has about 70 members.  Prior to the church being built, the locals had only the loan of the "chapel car" provided by the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Passport To History

Because of its' long service to the community, on October 25, 1990, the First Baptist Church of Hugo was certified as having met the requirements to be added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The church is not affiliated anymore with the First Baptist Church, as its' members found the mother church's policies were too liberal.

Conservative values are high among the tightly built community church parishioners.

Please visit the Josephine County Historical Society's website Passport To History for more information on the Passport To History program.

Thanks for your comments Dan and Bryan.  My wife and I signed up for the "Passport to History" program with the Josephine County Historical Society and we've been having a lot of fun visiting some historical sights we probably would have missed without this program.
