The church was built between 1871–1888 1875 using stone from a nearby quarry. The congregation was incorporated in 1875 as Hauge Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Kenyon. The congregation was affiliated with the Hauge Synod, one of the two primary Lutheran denominations among Norwegian immigrants in rural Goodhue County. In 1902, parish members decided to build a newer church in Kenyon and Hauge Lutheran church was closed. The church is maintained and occasionally used for special events.[3] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[4]
