For over a century, Bethel Norwegian Lutheran Church, built in the Romanesque Revival style in 1862, served as a place of worship for hundreds of Madison residents. If you happened upon this historical site on a weekend night in 2024, you’d find something quite different happening in the church. You’d find The Mousetrap, one of Madison’s most esteemed house show venues, with red and purple lights beaming through the arched window, music escaping through the opened doors and kick drumming loud enough to feel it in your gut. You’d also find an energetic and diverse crowd murmuring on the church’s lawn.
