The Holy Trinity Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church in Wilton, North Dakota, was built in 1913 to serve the local Eastern Orthodox Ukrainian immigrants in the area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982.

As of the NRHP nomination, the church no longer had regular services, as was the case for the other two historic Ukrainian Greek Orthodox churches in North Dakota. {{As of|2024}}, the church is still closed.

History

In 1897, a group of Ukrainians immigrated from Galicia to Canada before settling in the Wilton, North Dakota, area. Orthodox worship services were initially carried out in private homes. In 1913, funding was secured to build a church. Two local carpenters, John Krivatski and John Schowchuk, oversaw the construction.

As of the time of the NRHP listing in 1981, the church no longer held regular services,{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=82001344}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Holy Trinity Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church |author=Jackie Sluss |year=1981 |publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=82001344|title=accompanying photos|photos=y}} and it is still closed today.{{cite web |title=Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church |url=https://www.wiltonnd.org/holy-trinity-ukrainian-orthodox-church/ |website=City of Wilton |publisher=City of Wilton |access-date=March 25, 2024}} The two other Ukrainian Greek Orthodox churches in North Dakota, St. Peter and Paul in Belfield and St. Pokrova near Killdeer,{{cite web |last1=Martens |first1=Steve C. |last2=Ramsay |first2=Ronald H.
