Family history and American history shake hands at Lansdowne Christian Church.

"This church meant a lot to my parents," noted Brent Neilson. His mom and dad met there, raising Brent and his siblings within the congregation and its traditions.

Decades before that, at the turn of the 20th century, an Ohio real estate man named Charles W. Hull gave land for the church, with a caveat: Each May, honor Union veterans of the Civil War.

Civil War iconography, including photos of Lincoln and Union flags, are found all over the building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
