The church in the woods

Georgia · USA · Cemetery

A long narrow road runs back into the trees and is hard to drive. At the end of it there is a small white church, one room, with a graveyard across the.

In the old part of Canton, Georgia a long narrow road runs back into the woods, difficult to get down.

At the end of it there is a church, out in the middle of nothing: very small, one room, and white.

Directly across the road is a cemetery, and the dates on the graves are the reason people come.

The name it goes by locally was given by teenagers, not by anyone who ever worshipped there.

A one room white frame church at the end of a bad road is the most ordinary building in the rural south, and there are thousands of them. They were built by congregations who put them up themselves, and the graveyard across the way holds the same families for four or five generations.

What gets reported at these places usually says more about the difficulty of the road than about the church.

It is private land and the cemetery is in use by descendants.
