St. Urban Church
Finished in 1891, St. Urban Church was originally called Our Lady of the Assumption and was founded by the Catholic Church. In 2010, local community members, including descendants of the original founders raised money to restore the church to near original condition. Today, Lewis County Parks Department maintains the property which is available to rent for weddings and similar ceremonies. It is located near Winlock on the corner of Sargent and Military road.
Claquato Church
Right off of Highway 6, Claquato Church is one of the oldest standing churches in Washington State. It was originally built in 1858 by members of the then, Claquato community. Today, it is maintained as a historical site by the Lewis County Parks Department and is available for small weddings, picnics, and memorial services. Viewings of the interior of the church are during summer months by request only.
