This was one of the most beautiful graveyards I have ever been to. Some of the markers were old in the 1800's and so ornate! you cannot go in the church but the graveyard alone is worth it. if you're ever out this way definitely definitely definitely stop by!

A beautiful and very historic place. Simply walking the grounds and visiting the cemetery was memorable. When you consider the historic leaders who built this church, those who visited and those who chose this as their final resting place, it is awe inspiring. Definitely worth a brief side trip.

Nice place and well kept with a lot of history but a very small place to park on the busy highway. Other reviews stated the church was always open but it was not. A bench would have been nice to allow reflection time.
