The John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church has proudly stood on a hill since 1891.
According to a page about the town's churches, there was once another Methodist Church in the town, established by white townspeople, some of whom were former Quakers expelled from that religion.
I peered in a window but my photo is full of reflections.
Next we see buildings across the street.
Waterford is a charming town in Loudoun County, Virginia. Established around 1733 by Quakers, the town was mostly pro-Union during the Civil War. Much of the town still looks like it did at that time.
The final photo shows a barn that is near the church. These photos are from November.
Ten kościół jest trochę podobny do tego w którem miałam Pierwszą Komunię: http://www.swroch.archpoznan.pl/

ReplyDelete...Linda, thanks for this walk back in time, the church and barn are a treat. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what happened to families who were pro-union once the Confederacy took over the area. Hopefully they just moved north and came back following the conflict.
