Two teams of building movers dodge obstacles on town and country roads to relocate two colossal churches.
In Iowa, we follow the remarkable cross-country trek of Trinity Lutheran Church. Over years, the church’s congregation had shrunk from 250 to just 13. The parishioners decided to disband the church but save the building. Topped with a 100-foot steeple, we follow Ron Holland haul the pristine structure twelve miles across rolling hills to the town of Manning.
In Sarasota, Florida, we follow structural mover Brett Johnson and his sons, disassemble the iconic Crocker Church and Rectory to move though the crammed downtown streets in the dead of night for preservation. Can the team dismantle the church’s fragile steeple for the move without it falling apart?
