Historic Portland Church

One of the most notable historic buildings and sites in the town is the Portland Church and Cemetery along the north side of County Highway E. Once a thriving community of New England Indians and folks from New York and portions of Vermont, all that remains of the community today is a restored church and cemetery. The church was built by settlers who arrived in the 1830's. The Portland Cemetery holds the graves of many Civil War soldiers and soldiers from the War of 1812.
