Inspired in Fort Valley

Sharing with Inspired Sunday
This is one of the churches in Fort Valley, which is in Shenandoah County. Since I didn't make any notes about this building, I have no details to share. Let me make up for it by posting another image from that area. This quaint window is on the restored cabin at Elizabeth Furnace Recreation Area. 



Here's a drawing of the cabin as it appears on an interpretive sign. It was reconstructed by the CCC in 1936 using logs salvaged from five or six decaying buildings.

I posted a fanciful image of this cabin in 2010.

  7. I recognize both the little church in Fort Valley and also the cabin at the Elizabeth Furnace Recreation area. George and I took our pictures together on the steps of that cabin... Such a wonderful area. Check out my blog post when we were there in April, 2014: http://betsyfromtennessee.blogspot.com/2014/04/oh-those-fantastic-shenandoahs.html

  10. Is that a window air-conditioner in the restored cabin? I'm sure the original occupants would have loved to have one!
