History

Missionary priest Franklin R. Haff held the first Episcopal service in Oshkosh in 1850. [1] The parish was briefly organized as St. Peter's parish, then reorganized as Trinity Episcopal Church in 1854, with David W. Tolford serving as first rector. The first church building was a wooden structure built and consecrated in 1857, and located at Algoma Boulevard and Division street. In 1887, the original building was razed, and the current stone structure, a Richardsonian Romanesque design by architect William Waters, was built on the same site. [1]
