Inspired Sunday: I photographed this church in March when I visited John Brown's hideout near Harpers Ferry. The mailing address is in Sharpsburg, Maryland, but this church is out in the country.

The church was consecrated in December 1873. Part of the building is thought to be older and the 2-story section at the front is a newer addition.
The community of Samples Manor is named for John Semple, who acquired the land in 1764. He named his land Keep Treist, a name that lives on in a road named Keep Tryst. (I've seen the a sign on US 340 that says Keep Tryst and wondered about it.)
...it's big!
