The small, quiet town of Leer is situated in a scenic location northwest of Alpena, lying in close proximity to the natural beauty of Sunken Lake Park.
Leer owes its name and founding to a community of immigrants from Lier, Norway, who settled the area. This heritage remains a defining part of the town’s identity and history.
The most notable place in Leer is the old historic Leer Lutheran Church. This magnificent structure was dedicated and built in 1899, making it a key fixture of the community for well over a century. Standing as a testament to the enduring faith and history of the Norwegian settlers.
