About

A dignified yellow wooden cathedral from the 1860s, sitting in its own small park halfway along the main street. Very few wooden cathedrals exist anywhere, and this one makes a good counterpoint to its concrete cousin across the water. The interior opens on summer weekdays per the listed hours. The rest of the year you're admiring the outside, which takes five minutes and costs nothing. Don't cross town for it. Don't walk past without looking either.
