Exploring a 168 Year Old Vacant and Abandoned Church

[@Freaktography]

This old church was founded by the pioneers of the community in 1828. The current church was built in 1854, housing a growing congregation in the also growing community. The church closed down at some point in the late 1990s or early 2000s, but seemed to have new life breathed into it in 2010, when a new community group took over. Photo Gallery: freaktography.com/exploring-a-168-year-old-vacant-and-abandoned-church/ Unfortunately, this was short-lived, and the church hasn't seen a service in several years, with the exception for a wedding that took place there late in the summer of 2015. A mouldy corsage still remains from that day, as do the programs and decorations. Since the 2015 wedding, there have been a few visitors to the church, based on a guest book in the lobby, and it is still powered. A website states that the church is available for celebrations and special events, the church is open to everyone at all times and never closes. You may find that watching the video - ain't nobody using this old church for nothing!

Hi, where is this church located. Is this in Ontario, Canada by chance?

[@ckswat77zz51]

How refreshing that it’s not tagged, looted, vandalized, windows all shattered etc. Churches used to left open on purpose. How interesting this church is left open. I wonder who’s paying the electric bill. It says a lot for that area that this place isn’t being ruined, except for Mother Nature. Take care Dave.

[@kennethsonier1766]

That's a beautiful old church and it's nice to see the respect that you show. 👍☮️

[@ChucklesKeys]

I do like the fact that you show respect towards God's house, even though it is not in use currently. Thank you for that!

[@rachealsmith5138]

Oh my gosh! The craftsmanship in this place!!! I would love to clean it up and keep it!!! Beautiful! Nice explore… take care!

[@Freaktography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ronnieisaacs6960]

An outstanding find! Even though it's really nasty, it's a beautiful place. The windows are amazing. Appreciate you and your content. Oh, markers are called magic because they write on almost every surface!

[@pointsoflightradio9785]

That church was probably one of the pillars of the community it was n People were christened, married and had their funerals in places like this. A church this old has many stories to tell

[@carolali8851]

They are magic because you can see through the colour. I was given a tour of a church that had been converted to a home. Maybe someone will buy this one and do the same, they make beautiful homes.

[@charliea3363]

Stained glass windows were beautiful and loved that intro!

[@Greenpoloboy3]

Wonder why it is used so rarely though, or just in the middle of nowhere now? Love these abandoned places. All that coffee, to keep the people awake. Wonder how often people come just to look around. RIP to the mouse who went to the loo but couldnt get out again. 12:15

[@bethanyp948]

This place needed some major cleaning. Pretty safe to assume it's abandoned. Loved the new intro!!

[@Freaktography]

I think so too!

[@ChristyHunter]

I love your new intro. It really is good. Enjoyed this video. Loved the curved church pews.

[@CandyLitCrystalz]

Super awesome and totally cool 🤗

[@Freaktography]

Thanks again!

[@CandyLitCrystalz]

@@Freaktography your welcome 😊

[@normanjones8089]

Awesome informative video my friend, but where is the baptismal?

[@Freaktography]

Good question!

[@davidmathis-xd6nf]

That object behind the glass appears to be baptismal font It was dedicated to someone This church is probably a lutheran church

[@sethlawson1615]

About the whole abandoned police thing and showing that cobwebs means it’s abandoned doesn’t mean shit… it’s still owned by someone and you are trespassing wether you like to hear it or not you are… absolutely cool looking at the place and I’d probably try exploring it too but my point is just because there’s cobwebs doesn’t mean it’s abandoned.

[@ebbrahuber1718]

I would Love to make that into a house. Thank you for showing us.

[@suzannewojtkowiak4329]

I liked this old place!! Nice layout and beautiful stained glass (sure hope it doesn't get ruined). Might be neat to think of it being renovated and lived in. Not much in the way of bathroom facilities for the number of folks that could fill the pews. Bet there was some good dinners served up there.

[@Freaktography]

Thanks for watchin

[@OverseerNick]

I love your vids. Any way that you could do abandoned Cathedrals??

[@clairefunnell8481]

Beautiful church Dave. I heard a bang, was that you? I'm glad the church is vandal free. Those stained glass windows are just beautiful. Love the intro Dave, it's cool.

[@rachelgervais1971]

Beautiful Church and it is sad to see it like this🤗

[@Freaktography]

Thanks Rachel

[@jeanbaker2087]

Beautiful little church.

[@lilyrose3145]

Loved this video.Thank you.

[@donnavaughn5393]

Thanks you my friend see you soon

[@FromSagansStardust]

Some people watch their videos on actual desktops with real speakers. You're not the only one, but why do a lot of Tubers start off at a normal volume , then slam the volume up on the intro so it can be heard from the ISS?

[@petlover5080]

Beautiful church

[@Freaktography]

very!

[@rubygriffin4318]

It's a nice old church . Someone did use it for prayerfully.

[@cherryspiker4426]

i love these old churches ❤❤ stay safe love ya

[@amymays8727]

It’s sad to see abandoned churches ⛪️

[@darrellroath654]

what is the website for the church

[@brucewayne1893]

Wonderful place i hope they revive it soon

[@lilyrose3145]

Wow so cool.Someone should buy it and make it their home.That would be so much fun to live there.

[@PamelaWarren56]

Gorgeous church

[@parasolo75]

Where is this church located??

[@willforeverpubg4235]

Dave what a difference church then what we have witnessed in pass.

[@CherryBerry48]

[@maryann9206]

You guys are rockin' the new intro!!! What a great find, thanks for the tour :)

[@Freaktography]

hey thanks

[@stepheneggert9474]

The lobby in a church is called the Narthex..

[@hollishaley-o5u]

I am surprised that someone hasn’t offered to purchase the stained glass windows. It would nice for someone to remove them before they get damaged.

[@ChesterPaulSgroi]

I really appreciate your tour of this fabulous location but it would have been nice if you had lowered your voice just this once given the location.

[@pamelagideon7762]

Awesome introduction!!! Loved it! I liked how everything all came together, you are very talented in many ways. That was the way they built some churches back in that time. Almost reminded me of my great grandpa's church he built in Adams County but it still has services. Most churches are open to the public. I think they are very interesting. To bad they are letting this one go. Nice find my friend!

[@Freaktography]

Thank you Pamela

[@badexter1]

It's a beautiful church. Am surprised the power is on. I imagine no one is paying. How did the power company let that go?

[@waylonp6924]

That would make a awesome house

[@Freaktography]

definitely

[@TrishaGunpath]

I always think of Gremlins when I see those wall chair lifts. 😂

[@amberlautaoja6541]

Not a bad place. Looks pretty old and dirty but was probably looked better back then. I like the windows

[@markborishnikoff5485]

The beer cans remind me of my old frat house

[@redneckbryon]

I noticed hand sanitizer in the lobby, It definitely looks longer than 2 years but you never know.

[@Freaktography]

who knows!

[@marygrace5123]

Yeah you're right Freaktography , we know you when there's a piano you will play phantom of the opera

[@Freaktography]

LOL you KNOW IT!

[@marygrace5123]

@@Freaktography yeah because im your solid subscriber and an avid fan as well

[@irenewatts2874]

This is a nice little church. It’s a shame they don’t use it anymore. What a waste. That thing that you called a display case on the alter is actually the tabernacle we’re they keep the host for communion where we receive the host. This is in the Catholic religion. I was a Eucharistic minister for many years. We help the priest giving out communion during the mass. I have to say I love the new intro. Dave I never knew you were such a great drummer. It’s really good and has a nice beat. You are multi talented, a great drummer and a great explorer. It’s a nice church and it’s too bad they don’t use it anymore. With all those cobwebs who wouldn’t believe that this church is abandon? Another great explore and stay safe out there.

[@suzannewojtkowiak4329]

I too thought the display case held what looked like what was used for communion in my church many years ago. My mother was a deacon and I used to help get it ready.

[@ElmerPropst-e4t]

It looks like a good place to hold AA MEETING

[@marygrace5123]

I wonder what they abandoned churches, so sad

[@elissarfarah806]

plz where is this church ?

[@CherryBerry48]

What is a magic marker called? Also, permanent pens are also referred to as "Magic" (from a famous pen brand name). In Iran, felt-tip pens are referred to as "Magic" or "Highlight" regardless of its brand. Magic Marker because of its ability to mark on almost every surface.

[@paulsalaz8857]

Hi there Dave great video. thanks for sharing your adventure with us follower's thanks.

[@Freaktography]

Ok..400 views in 4 hours, safe to assume the majority of you don't like church videos. Note taken

[@bethanyp948]

Ahh booo! I like the church videos. They bring back horrible memories of those hard chairs I had to sit on in Sunday school as a kid 😅 But I must admit, the time capsules and old hospital videos sure beat the church ones!

[@snookerl]

Loved the church video. Not that the abandoned hoses videos arent great but its good to see a church, an abandoned business, doctor office or funeral home sometimes too. But this was a great video.

[@laurabrooks7655]

Love the new intro!

Thank you Laura

That church bldg would make an excellent mosque
