Old Sheldon Church; Beaufort, S.C.

I am a tourist with a long list of must-see tourist attractions (I really must see the corn palace before I die) so before we left the Beaufort area we stopped to see the ruins of Old Sheldon Church. The British burned it during the Revolutionary War and the feds burned it again during the Civil War, and it's been standing empty ever since. There was a little bit of graffiti, but not enough to be distracting, and there is a nifty old cemetery around back. It was also suprisingly crowded - I had to time this picture just right.

I've read that there are sunrise services here every Easter. I bet it's pretty neat.

Wow. That is really pretty. Sad that it was burned down twice, but it is still pretty.

I have seen the corn palace. I won't say anything about it. I will let it be a surprse. :)

Wow! Brick pillars! I'd love to see that, I didn't know it existed. Didn't know about the corn palace either.
