Zion Lutheran near Horsham


Zion Lutheran Church is likely the most photographed place in the area.  Just about everyone has a photo or two of this one somewhere in their archive.


Once or twice every year I take a day trip through the area.  Lots to see and it's always nice to just get away for a few hours.


It looks as though the roof has fallen in a just little more since my last visit.


A solitary fenced grave marker at one corner of the cemetery.


This small white cross with white-painted fieldstones mark a child's grave.


The remaining headstones in the cemetery can be seen in the distance to the right of the church. 

Something I was reminded of recently...a grass fire ripped through the area about three years ago but Zion Lutheran was spared, thankfully.  It's truly a landmark to be appreciated and enjoyed.

  1. A definite favourite of mine. I am surprised it has not completely collapsed.

    1. Little has changed here visually for a number of years. I think a hope and a wish are all that's keeping it upright.

  2. A testament to how well built it was. Amazing that it's hanging in there.
