Houses of Worship in Appalachia

The church house is an enduring and ubiquitous emblem of Appalachian faith, community, and culture. These historic buildings, almost all of which are still in use, serve as reminders of the deeply rooted and widespread role spirituality has played and continues to play in the Appalachian experience. As we did in our previous issue, The Mountain Spirit takes you down twisting and turning roads, over hills and through valleys for glimpses of some of these iconic landmarks.
