Historic Christ Church

Completed in 1735, this church opened its doors when George Washington was three years old. The Georgian-style structure, included in the National Register of Historic Places, was built by Robert "King" Carter, and contains a rare "triple-decker" pulpit made of native walnut. Bricks for the church were fired in a great kiln near the churchyard. An informative 12-minute video is screened in the museum.
