[2] Honey Creek was founded in 1852 as a mission of St. Aloysius Catholic parish in Sauk City, under Reverend Adelbert Inama.

Worship was first held at Honey Creek in the living room of Katherine and John George Leidig, with the missionary priest walking 13 miles from Sauk City.

In 1867 a log church was built on the cemetery's side of the road, but it burned shortly after, and the congregation resumed services in Leidigs' home.

Its walls are yellow limestone, randomly laid by local stonemasons Kasper Steuber[3] and/or Peter Mettel and Nicolaus Allart.

To make the church look more formal, the masons laid lines of mortar over the face of the uncoarsed stone, to suggest cut blocks.

Above the centered front door is a rose window, and above that is a square frame belfry with an octagonal steeple, topped with a simple cross.

Names on the stones include Bethscheider, Bliven, Brylla, Conner, Conway, McKenna, Mehan, Mettel, O'Neill, Power and Unterholtzener.
