How to Move a 100-year-old Church



This is still my favorite YouTube video, which I've posted every few years since 2007. For the second season of the TV show Monster Moves, the production followed Trinity Lutheran Church in Lincoln Township, Iowa, that was moved nine miles to its new home in Manning, Iowa. Daniel Pemberton wrote a song for the occasion, sung by the Manning Chorus. Even the stained glass survived the move intact!

Thanks for posting this again- I had not seen it before. And Manning is about an hour west of me- I'll have to see the church next time I'm over there. Have a great weekend, Miss C!
