Blue Church Cemetery

Terry and I often drive down highway 2, which runs beside the St. Lawrence River.

One building we have often driven passed and commented on is a "Blue Church" next to the road, between Prescott and Brockville,

Last time we drove by, Terry pulled off the road for a better view...







The attached cemetery has interesting old headstones.











This online article states that, after two previous churches on this site burned down, this church was built in 1845. No one knows why the church has always been painted blue - but it must have been for a long time: The road next to it is called "Blue Church Road."

The building is, apparently, still used for small weddings.
