Those of us who love the backroads have seen many of these old rural churches……..covered in weeds and slowly melting away. Central to our mission at HRC is the documentation of these abandoned sanctuaries and cemeteries along with as much history as we can find. They are a haunting reminder of our past. They still have a spiritual aura that speaks to us. How many souls have been saved, weddings performed and eulogies given in these sacred places? You can almost hear the old hymns coming out of the broken windows. Over time they will disappear completely but the images you see below tell stories that remind us of where we came from and how we got here. Please take some time to click and scroll these gallery photos that give us a deeper appreciation of our lost past. These old treasures may be almost gone, but they are not forgotten.
