Friedens Church was organized in the mid-1700s. The older section of the current church dates to the early 1800s.
There are Revolutionary War soldiers buried in the cemetery, but I did not locate them.
The church is located on Friedens Church Road east of Mount Crawford, not far from Interstate 81.
...this is older than churches here.
ReplyDeleteI am always fascinated by tombstones
ReplyDeleteLooks great
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing how many posts mention war. The one constant throughout history.
ReplyDeleteYes, wars seem to define history.
DeleteGreat photos of the church and cemetery!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
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!
