Built in 1820, the church was struck by a cannon ball during the 1862 Civil War Battle of Lewisburg. The "wound" is visible near the right corner of the structure. The boarded door entrance, right center, was used by slaves to enter the segregated balcony of the church for services.
Looking northwest towards the cemetery and back of the church. The church, built in 1796, was used as a hospital, barracks and stable during the Civil War.
Bridge on left leads to an entrance of church, as well as stairway on right. See original for correspondence. (From postcard collection legacy system.)
