The Smallest Church in America
It was built in 1950 by a rural grocer named Mrs. Agnes C. Harper. She wanted to provide travelers a quiet sanctuary for meditation and interdenominational worship. The church's interior features a high-pitched roof with exposed beams, along with stained glass windows. A glass star in the roof permits light and inspiration into the interior.
