The Kinnickinnic Church is a historic church in Kinnickinnic, Wisconsin, United States. The Greek Revival church was constructed for $2,000 in 1868 and was originally shared by a Methodist and a Congregationalist congregation. In 1895, the Congregationalists purchased the church for $300; it maintained a congregation there until 1951. In 1962, the Kinnickinnic Historical Association bought the vacant church to prevent it from being converted to a home. The church, which contains a historic pump organ, is currently used for social events in the community.[2] On October 6, 2000, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
