West Virginia History - The Old Stone Church

Last summer I was able to explore the lovely town of Lewisburg, West Virginia.

It is a town full of history.

This is The Old Stone Church

Wikipedia tells me:

The Old Stone Church was built in 1796, and is a two story, rectangular limestone building. An addition was built in 1830, making the building 75 feet by 44 feet in size. It features an open cupola belfry. During the American Civil War it served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate forces. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The related Stone Manse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004
