United Presbyterian Church

In September of 1855, the first church bell was brought to the head of Lake Superior.  The 531-pound composition steel bell was a little ahead of time as no church had yet been organized and the bell lay unrung for several months.  In March of 1856, a platform and frame were erected, and a dedication of the bell was held by the two existing Presbyterian churches.  Since moving into its new church at 229 North 28^th Street, Superior, the United Presbyterian Church congregation has been without a bell tower.  Eagle Scout Ian McCumber chose for his project a small garden and a place to set the church bell.  The project became bigger than he had anticipated, and with the help of family, church members, Nels Ojard from Krech & Ojard, Bob Cragin of Cragin Machine Shop, Jack Finstad and Roger and Charlie from Twin Ports Concrete, a bell tower was erected.  The Chamber Ambassadors and members of the congregation participated in the recent rededication of the 152 year-old-bell.
