The Muhlenberg Lutheran Church is a large limestone building. The original church dates to 1849, with additions constructed over the years.
It is named after Peter Muhlenberg, a pastor who famously made a speech supporting the American Revolution in his church in Woodstock in 1776. (I have posted about Muhlenberg previously.) He raised a regiment and became an officer in George Washington's army.
I read that this church has some lovely windows but right now it is still closed due to the pandemic.
Also in downtown Harrisonburg is the old post office building, now serving as a courthouse for bankruptcy court.
...beautiful architecture finished with a beautiful sunset.

Surdy buildings those are! No wonder they've lived so long, and had additions. Thanks for sharing the story of the Rev. Muhlenberg.
ReplyDeleteNice limestone church! The old post office is a red brick building, typical of U.S.
