I'm not 100% sure, but guessing in context I think they went to a church service in White Pigeon Prairie, a nearby town. The Ranney brothers weren't that religious, so it would have been something to remark upon. There are other mentions in the letters of revivals and of controversies among denominations that amuse the writers.
What is “We have been to the Prairy to meeting today” refer to? Just curious
