Abandoned church out in the hills in Greene county. Not much info about it available beyond mentions in obituaries. Built in 1870.

Windows were all boarded from the inside. The doors were also boarded at one point but someone had knocked that in.

fascinated by these seats in place of pews

Classic one room country church except for this side room with its own door (you can see it in the external pics). At one point someone had been living in there and stripping things/running wires/building walls. Most recent dated thing we could find was a receipt from 2008.

Big fan of this chair. Imagining a raccoon wandering in and sleeping on it.

For a weird bad time google this kid and the place she's buried.

As I was taking this picture a gun went off nearby. We thought nothing of it until 30 seconds later it went off again. We thought well that might be someone gently nudging us to leave, since our car was visible right outside.

We came out and there were two people watching from a truck parked up away from the road near a house we thought was abandoned on a neighboring property. They were talking about us and seemed relieved we were leaving so they didn't have to come down. So we left.

Nice day in extreme southwestern PA.
