Our next stop was to the small town of Concordia, founded in 1562. This town, as all towns, has a beautiful Catholic church which was built in 1742. It is all rock and was brought in by horse and buggy. The church took 50 years to build. The French came here seeking gold and silver. They killed all the Indians living here at the time and burned their villages including the interior of this church. In the picture you can see the tower seems to be unfinished. This is a part of the church that was not finished before the fire and in fact was never finished.
