Blog Post 7470

Elkton, Virginia.

The town of Elkton is surrounded by farm country and mountains. It was originally a settlement called Conrad's Store but was later named Elkton for the stream called Elk Run. 

 Inspired Sunday / Shadow Shot Sunday

The Elkton United Methodist Church was built in 1894 as a frame building. In 1921 it was expanded and brick facing was added.

You can find farms on the edge of town, and a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east. To the west is the southern end of the Massanutten Mountains.

I apologize for all the utility wires. I could Photoshop them out but I want to stay somewhat true to current reality. 

You can view more barns on Tom's Backroads blog.

  4. Lovely church and farms. I would imagine having mountains to the east and the west would give lots of rain to the space of the valley.

  5. No apology necessary... although it is equally frustrating and interesting how our eyes don’t really see the wires in a landscape but our cameras sure do. ... it’s a sweet little country town. We have an Elkton near us here in Oregon.
