Freethinkers Park Hall

Sauk City native son and architect, Alfred Claus, designed this meeting hall for the Frei Gmeinde congregation. The building was erected in 1884 by freedom-loving Germans who came here and established their Free Congregation in 1848. For many years, Park Hall was the only meeting place in the village of Sauk City, and even today it is a favored site for many community sponsored lectures, concerts and drama productions.

As it has always been, Park Hall is the property of the Free Congregation of Sauk County which has been a Unitarian Fellowship since 1952. Since 1989 it has housed the Pleasant River School , a non-sectarian private elementary school. It continues to serve the purpose for which it was built: a meeting place for free thinkers.
