Stunning and full of history!
truly a neat place to come and worship. You can just feel the history. I came to capture a wedding here this past weekend. Really nice and the pastor was wonderful as well.

Honoring Sam Watkins
One of the first books I read when I moved to Tennessee was "Company Atych" by Sam Watkins, which chronicles his experience during numerous campaigns in the Confederate Army from 1860 to 1865 during the Civil War. He is buried here along with his wife, Virginia. The grave is near a tree in the middle road path and a Civil War Trails maker and information plaque are displayed nearby. The headstone is facing opposite the tree so you will probably not notice it right away until you walk past the tree and go a few paces south. Watkins left his home that was located just a few miles from this church and fought at most of the major battles, including Shiloh, Stones River and Franklin. Watkins was just one of seven of the original Company H remaining when Gen. Joseph Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee in 1865.
