History

The Crooked Hill Sunday School first met in a local schoolhouse in 1865. In 1890, when the town of Crooked Hill changed its name to Sanatoga, the Sunday School changed its name as well. About the same time, townsfolk decided to build a separate Sunday School building as well. "Union" in the name signified that children from all Christian denominations, especially Baptist, Lutheran, and Reformed churches, were invited to attend. Land was donated by Samuel Kurtz, and materials and labor were also donated to build the Sunday School building.
