Friedens Church was organized in the mid-1700s. The older section of the current church dates to the early 1800s.

What a fascinating history of Friedens Church! The connection to the Revolutionary War soldiers buried in the cemetery adds such depth to the story. It’s remarkable that the church has stood for so long, with parts dating back to the early 1800s. I recently posted a new blog about Body Confident You: Body Confident Kid, and I’d love for you to come and share your thoughts. I hope you can stop by!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at graveyards, and thinking of the many lives represented by the markers...so I'd definitely be interested in visiting there, if only it were in my neighborhood!
