Historic Polegreen Church





Historic Polegreen Church
6411 Heatherwood Dr.
Mechanicsville, VA 23116

"The Polegreen Church, known as "Hanover Meeting House", maybe be the first non- Anglican church in Virginia. Named after the 17th-century landowner, George Polegreen."

"Experience The Peace of Historic Polegreen Church, a beautiful open-air church. Feel the breeze and the sunlight welcome you as you enjoy the story of Rev. Samuel Davies and how he started Historic Polegreen Church, one of America's first non-Anglican churches. You'll feel his story come to life as you stand where he stood to preach sermons to members of his congregation, including Patrick Henry."

Hey there, hope you are well today. Let's chat ...my hubby took me to see this beauty middle of  month in July 2020, during the whole "mask wearing time", so it was nice to be outdoors to enjoy some fresh breezes, just imagining what it might be likes for folks during those times during all the hot and humid times (90 degrees this week, if you have never had humidity in your weather, you are so lucky.) I just thought it was amazing how history was just there, the breezes were amazing and so calming. I found it almost odd to feel such a nice breeze, like sitting on a front porch enjoying a nice mint julep??! Or a sweet tea? 
Thanks for stopping by today. See ya next time!! Take Care, Beth ( ;

I never saw an open air church. Interesting. Would not like to have experienced it this summer. The middle of winter probably wouldn’t be great either..Have a good week. Stay safe

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
