A Look Back at New Vienna's History
New Vienna was founded in 1843. It was settled by people from Austria. The Emperor of Austria even helped them get started.
The St. Boniface Catholic Church was built for the families who settled here. This church has a special pipe organ from the late 1800s. It was made by the William Schuelke company. This organ is very rare because it's still mostly original. Only an electric blower has been added since it was first installed.
