    Great historical Church, well preserved. A must see when it's open to the public, so try and call to see when it will be open. Grave yard holds many Civil War veterans. A must see for any Wilson College Alumnae

    Haunted place. The graves at this church were removed from their original resting place and relocated here. Lots of paranormal activity.
