I had no idea they settled in Texas. I thought they all settled in Petite's neck of the woods with Garrison Keillor.

Me too.. meh... They must have been the ones that hated the cold

Ok.. I was just informed that this church was built by the first group of settlers of the Norwegian group.

So I'm guessing the rest of the group that didn't stay here in Texas went north because they hated the heat.

The small size, isolation, and simplicity of the Church reminds me of the "Dunker Church" on the Antietam Civil War Battlefield in Maryland, though the Texas one has bigger windows and the Dunker (a nickname due to baptisms by complete immersion in nearby Antietam Creek) pews don't all face the same way.  They were a German Baptist group:
