Founded in 1808, Christ Church did not build a permanent house of worship until 1820, due largely to economic troubles stemming from the War of 1812. The first structure stood until the Civil War, when Union troops damaged it so badly that members were forced to meet in their homes until the present structure was built in 1884.

Inside of this church is beautiful and the grounds are out of this world.Just love those old oaks. I am a fan of Eugenia Price and all her novels that have the settings in this area.
