More meanderings

Right across the street from the Presbyterian Church in Church Hill, Mississippi, is this old country store/post office now closed for the ages. I bet many a story has been told on that front porch.

South of Church Hill, Robert Walker and I ran across Cedars Plantation, which features this gazebo by a small pond on its place. Just stunning!

We came back to Vicksburg via the Natchez Trace for a little while. These growths on a tree caught my eye. I do not know what it is or what's its purpose.

We also waded in a couple of creeks and found these shots.

This mussel shell, above, looked like it was staring at me when I walked by and it didn't look none too happy about me being there!

This little ol' shack is right north of Port Gibson on U.S. 61. Let me hear any complaints no longer about the house you are living in being too small.

Church Hill, Mississippi

After Robert Walker and I visited Windsor Ruins, which was the subject of previous posts this week, we made our way down to Church Hill, Mississippi, down near Fayette. I have heard about this Presbytherian church for quite some time and was not disappointed when it appeared around a curve. It's a gorgeous church surrounded by an old cemetery, including two of the oldest graves I have ever come across. They are pictured lower down. It broke my heart not to be able to go inside, but maybe one day that will happen. Here's another Mississippi treasure...just waiting for you a few miles down the road.
