Small Town Church

We were passing through looking at antique stores and saw a steeple/spire in the distance, then the best sign eyes could find..."Historic Landmark - Church". Of course we immediately took a sharp right turn. Cute little town, all the people could practically walk to the church. There was also a lovely cemetery in the back, with generations of families. Whole place was just breathtaking
